Summer Buffet

Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas, 12x16 inchesThis piece was painted awhile back for a show with a food theme.  I thought showing fair food was a clever idea, plus I painted fun fair images on two sides of the canvas such as pronto pups and cheese curds.  It didn't go over real big for the show, most of the paintings were classical food images.  Recently I pulled the painting out to rework a few areas adding admission tickets to the third side of the canvas.  I'm not sure if I posted this piece before but it works better now and will be for sale in a new show coming up in September at the Rumriver Art Center's Johansen Gallery, Anoka MN.

Minnesota State Fair

My oil painting "California Trek" was accepted in the Minnesota State Fair Art Exhibition this year.  I'm feeling very honored to have my piece chosen.  I also won an award from the Minnesota Figure Study Collaborative and the piece sold.   

So fun and great encouragement to have my friends take the time to see my painting and pose with it!  They could have been eating corn dogs or fried ice cream on a stick.  Thanks gals, you're the best!
