Greater Navarre Beach Arts Association Art Festival

I know it's been awhile, computers crashing, family members across country having medical problems and a ton of other things going on all summer. Hopefully all that is over and I can get back on track with keeping my site updated and this blog going on regular entries.

First I would like to introduce you to a new Art organization that just started up in Navarre, Fl.
The Greater Navarre Beach Arts Association (GNBAA). http://www.gnbaa.org/
We are sponcering our first Arts & Craft Festival on Navarre Beach from Oct 13-15th, 2006. Visit the website for more details about the Festival and the Organization. It is also part of the Santa Rosa County's Beaches to Woodland Tour
http://www.beaches-rivers.com/ . I will be on location with a booth, set up to paint the festivities. Hope to see you out there.

I've been painting and showing on a regular schedule all year long, that hasn't slowed down any. I'm currently showing at the Arts & Design Society (ADSO) in Ft. WaltonBeach , Florida http://www.artsdesignsociety.com/ , Barbella's Studio Gallery in Pensacola, Fl. http://www.barbellasgallery.com/ , the Dragonfly Gallery in Milton, Fl., Art & Frame in Navarre, Fl. and the Fostoria Art & Frame Gallery http://www.dressyourart.com/HomePage.html in Fostoria, Ohio, (My home town). I have scheduled to do a Solo Show in the spring at The Fostoria Art & Frame. Jo Faeth, owner of the gallery has a great knowledge of the art business. I'm excited to work with her and to show my work in my home town.

I've been working on some new styles of plein-air paintings (painting on location, outside). Using the palette knife mostly and rags to blot in colors, shapes and backgrounds. I will be doing a short class for the " You Gotta Have Art" program, on Nov. 4th at the ADSO workshop from 9-12 and 1-4. So if you are in the area, sign up for that, it should be fun!

I also had an image published through the Collector's Art Club based in Ft. Walton Beach, Fl.
http://www.collectorsartclub.com/page/page/3280641.htm So check this out, it has a pretty cool concept.

Alot of shows still to come this year, so I'll keep you posted on those in the next entry. Thanx again for your patience and support.
