Roswell NM Show

 Roswell, NM has a juried show each year, and this  year, I had 3 accepted.
This old truck, is from a photo I took last summer at a friends ranch.
It is called:
'I Could have had a V-8'
 watercolor.

 This one is a Torn Paper Collage on Canvas.
'Elegance is an Attitude'

My Garden Chair, was painted from our back yard.
we have 2 chairs and a table in the back yard, and I used it for this painting. It is watercolor but I drew in a back ground, and painted in an under-painting first.

Their shows are always so nice. A lot of people come to the opening.  They also have an awesome miniature show with entries as far away as England!

Southwestern Watercolor Society Show

My Garden Chair was selected to be in the SWS show in September. The show will be in Plano, TX.
That means I will get my Signature Status. I am so excited. I have worked very hard for a lot of years, trying to get in.  I feel very blessed.
For those who don't know about signature status:  They are all different on the amount of paintings that have to be selected.  I got my signature status with Wyoming watercolor society a few years ago.  It means when I sign my painting I can put SWS by my signature , so now I can put WyWS and SWS both. There are 2 other societies I have been trying to get in, but it just takes a long time.
