Thank you for visiting my web site.
Things have been pretty busy the past few months. Among the things I have done is that I had the great pleasure of being the Juror for the Louisiana Watercolor Society’s 39th Annual Exhibition. This involved seeing some great art, giving awards recognizing some outstanding paintings, giving a three day workshop to some terrific and talented artists and eating some of New Orleans’ finest cuisine.
Here are a few of the things that have happened in my little corner of the art world over the past few months...
