CPSA DC 201 31st Annual Colored Pencil Art Exhibition

I’m pretty excited to have “Russian Ridge View” and “Outburst” accepted into the annual exhibit organized by CPSA DC 201 31st Annual Colored Pencil Art Exhibition.

If you in the area or close to it, come to see this show. I dropped my art yesterday, and the pieces I saw as they were being hung or waiting for their perfect spots were wonderful. More were still expected. Happy to be included in this show.
