Over 1,660 works of art were submitted to the competition from artists in approximately 46 states and 109 artworks were selected for the exhibition. We will send notice of your acceptance to a newspaper in your region.


This show is at Stephen F. Austin State University whih is about a four drive from DFW.  I will be shipping the piece there.  I was accepted in 2006 but not in 2007.  This was the first time I entered since 2007.

The peice is the same one which was in the juried show at TCU.

April 1, 2012 It appears a lot of people worry about their art work arriving safely.  I forgot my some of my packing foam and asked via email to let me know if it arrived OK.  I heard nothing but an email did go out to everyone saying that only those would be notified if there work was damaged.

WB Bridge



A bridge scene at Wrightsville Beach.  A difficult one for me.  The value was to light and I kept trying to darken it.  This I believe made the color not as rich, maybe a little muddy.
