Thanks to everybody who came out to the Mid-Winter Art Fair at Ward Parkway Center in Kansas City last weekend! I met a lot of great folks and had myself a really nice time.

I was honored and flattered to receive a Second Place ribbon for the mixed media category, especially being among lots of veteran Hallmark (as in the greeting card company) artists.

I enjoyed chatting with my booth neighbor Denny Dowdy - a talented watercolor artist who only began painting two years ago. One of his early originals is now hanging in my living room! Check out some of his work here: http://www.theparkplacegallery.com/artwork/fine-art/denny-dowdy.

I also enjoyed meeting Bob Pettes, somewhat of a legend in Americana art. You’d probably recognize his work - take a look here: http://www.ceaco.com/ceaco/index.php?artist=70.

There were so many great artists and photographers there and I was thrilled to be among them. Thanks again to everybody that stopped by! I’ll be back next year!
