Three new paintings have just arrived at my galleries! “Suspended Animation” and “Heeler”, the two rodeo pieces, are now available at Legacy Contemporary in Scottsdale.

“Larger Than Life”, my ‘bighorn abstract’, is now hanging at Ernest Fuller Fine Art in Denver.

…are due to Suzanne Ellis, who just won the Grand Prize in the 2007 Paint America Top 100. Suzanne attended one of my summer workshops a few years ago, and her winning painting was of (drumroll, please!) Daisy the badger - one of Triple D’s animal models! Check it out at www.paintamerica.org. Suzanne also had a piece juried into the Mini Top 50.

Waytago girl!!

P.S. Also in the category of “Cool Stuff”, an article about Andrew Denman on createbetterpaintings.com is very worthwhile (he’s listed at the top left of the page). I’ve shared exhibition space with Andrew at Birds in Art and at Western Visions; he is an extremely nice guy with a beautiful, original interpretation of the world. His technique is unusual and the article does a good job of covering it.
