This year in August 2024 I won First Place with "Petals and Spheres" which hung at the Memphis Botanical Gardens. The painting was from a glass of flowers in a small glass that had marbles on the bottom of the glass. I was taken by the reflections of the marbles in the water and the colors. It was an honor to win First Place since there were so many amazing talented pieces in the show.
Earlier I did the painting of the little Mexican Boy which was donated for "Good Grief" counseling through Baptist hospitals. The photo was taken in the jungles of Mexico during a small villages celebration of Cinco de Mayo. I titled it "Daddy's little Patriot".
The painting of the girl...nature goddess...has been constantly evolving since I've never done with it. I had nothing to look at so just kept adding and changing things....Anyone that knows me knows that "I am never done!".
Lastly a painting which is still in progress...close to being done but still to done....as there are always new ideas I am working on.
I'm having trouble composing the composition of these photos..so please excuse how they are placed..😱
