Egret Thunder

"Egret Thunder" 15 x 30 oil on linen, CLICK HERE to see frame and hi-res image

Salon International is a yearly national juried art show, and one of the finest exhibits of representational art. My painting, "Egret Thunder" was awarded Honorable Mention at the awards ceremony last night at the Greenhouse Gallery in San Antonio, TX.

This is a big honor, but I can't help remembering a recent art show at the small school where I have taught art for 18 years. The young elementary students had an exhibit and awards were given. Of course everyone got a ribbon. I had to laugh when I overheard one of the students telling another how rude it was that her ribbon said "HORRIBLE"...I went to see what she saw, and found a nice "Honorable Mention" ribbon on her art!

If you were watching the morning news in Shreveport, LA on about Oct. 10. 2006, then you saw me paint this live! KTAL (NBC Channel 6) dragged me out of bed for an early morning paint-out in the studio. This one is bigger(11x14) than my usual auction items...you might get it at a steal! A SMALLER, similar painting of mine is for sale for over $500. See http://www.whistlepik.com/, Christmas Show. Find V....Vaughan on the list and see "Glow Study"
