Mary Freebed Show

It has been awhile.  I have been quit down and did not know if I would continue to compete.  Well I turned the tied and entered 3 pictures into the Mary Freebed Show.  It is a show for individuals that are in some way disabled.  The people who sponsor  the show are great and always make me feel both welcome and appreciated.  They seem to enjoy my work and assure me I am accepted.  I give thanks to God that there are still people like this in the world.

Festival of the Arts 2012

This is one of the paintings I entered into the Festival of the Arts this year.  I call it the Eye of the Iris.  It is a water color painting on canvas.  The fine lines continue to be done with watercolor pencils but I am beginning to use more and more of only the watercolor and brush technique.  It just feels more 3 denominational to me.  The festival of the Art's takes place in Grand Rapids, Michigan  in the first full weekend of June every year.  This year the Art will be able to be viewed at the old Grand Rapids Press building.  I was able to enter 4 paintings we will see if any are excepted for the competition.
