Bruce and I have been making trips to the art center to deliver paintings for the show. The house seems empty and the gallery full. It will be interesting to see how things look when the fifty five paintings are hung. I hope they are received well and people enjoy the show. It is hard to keep excitement/anxiety under control. This has been a big job and an important milestone. Thanks to the Latrobe Art Center for hosting this event and thanks to all my friends and family and all who support this effort of art. I will update this blog about everything when we have finished. Again, may you enjoy the art!

Bruce and I drove to Loretto this week to pick up this painting. The title is SEAFARING TEXTURES although I usually refer to him as the fisherman or the sailor. I have shown him a number of times and he has always been overlooked by the juror but well loved by the public. The morning after we brought him home I received an email from the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art telling me of this award. I am extremely pleased because the award tells me this painting is truly well received.

ALSO, I want you all to check the Latrobe Art Center’s web site to pick up information about my solo show which will be there in March, the reception on the 2nd from six to eight. The show will hang till the first week in April. I will post the info, but not tonight. I am lucky I was able to get this up. Blessings to all, Diana
