      On the Racetrack III – pen and ink on drawing paper, 11.5″ x 8.5″

      My two drawing have been juried into the latest art show at the Oregon Society of Artists. I know, neither one looks like it should be in this kind of a show, but any media that could be diluted with water was eligible, and my ink was 🙂

      The show can be appreciated in person and online at https://www.osagallery.org/water-media-juried, whatever is more convenient to you!

      Now, looking at all the amazing art in this show online, I feel like maybe I should pick up a brush and get lost in many shades of black ink again!

      The online version of the show can be found here: https://www.osagallery.org/water-media-juried

      Show dates:
      March 4 – 24, 2021

      Gallery location: 2185 SW Park Place, Portland, Oregon 97205 (directions)

          6 x 6 x 6 show at the Alberta Street Gallery closed

            Although the show was affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, the Alberta Street Gallery managed to sell 29 small artworks. One of them was my “Blossoms I.”

            I am sure there would be more happy visitors and buyers if things were normal. The gallery is going to do the show again next year, and I can’t wait to be a part of it.
