Frederic Remington Museum - Juried Art Show 9/24/11

Show #2 of the weekend was in the great Frederic Remington museum. The more and more I see his work, the more I like it. There was a great exhibit for Remington's 150th birthday. Artists made pieces inspired  by Remington's work, and they were all amazing. Remington would have been proud!

Most of the pictures of the show were taken by my darling sister. The lighting of the museum plus my camera didn't work out very well, but we did our best.

Like the show at Lake Placid, it got crowded fairly quickly.

A shout-out to all of my family: thank you for coming to the show and supporting me and my artistic endeavors. You guys are the best!

Lake Placid Center for the Arts - Juried Art Show Opening 9/23/11

Wow. Just wow.

I drove 4+ hours on Friday to get from my house to Lake Placid for the opening, and it was totally worth it! What a great show. There are some amazingly talented people out there. So many mediums were represented at the show: collage, stone and wood carvings, paintings, photography, weaving, pencil drawings...amazing. The show is up until October 23rd, so if you are in the area, you should check it out!
