This year is the Art League's 60th anniversary and they are celebrating by having a series of shows that revisit art movements of the past six decades. This should be fun because I have been transitioning back to doing abstract paintings. For the Abstract Expressionism show in January my painting called "The Dressing Ceremony" was accepted.
I'm excited that my painting Butternut Squash was accepted into the American Women Artists 2013 Associate Member Online Juried Competition. It is included in a slideshow on the American Women Artists Gallery page.
The April Show at the Alexandria Art League this month is titled Flora and Fauna. My painting Squash and Pears was accepted and received an Honorable Mention. In the juror's dialogue, the juror, Yuriko Yamaguchi, said that the works that were selected for an honorable mention conveyed "strong impressions of the strength, fragility and drama of life" which sounds good to me.
Last month I donated Belle Haven Park to the Alexandria Art League's Patron Show. It is an exciting fundraiser for the Art League.
The November Art League Show was two shows in one. The Small Works Show was juried by Lindsay Harris and my painting Quail Eggs and Yams was accepted and received an Honorable Mention. In her juror's dialogue, Lindsay Harris said that many of the accepted pieces were "examples of simple, humble objects rendered precious through art".
The September All-Media Membership show at the Art League in Alexandria, VA was juried by Judy Southerland and she selected my painting called Woman in Vernazza for an Honorable Mention. This painting was inspired by a woman I saw in a resort town in Italy.
August is always the big landscape show at the Alexandria Art League and this year it was juried by artist Jonathan Linton. After painting in the Plein Air Coastal Delaware show I was inspired to do some larger studio landscapes and this one called Clouds over Prime Hook got accepted into the show.
