#2 Ranked Art Festival in US - Come See Why
Behind me in the van are boxes and boxes of carefully packed paintings headed for the #2 Fine Art Festival in the Country -- the Armonk Art Show in Armonk NY. Within an hour or two, the booth will start going up and b
y tomorrow morning at 10am, Saturday, September 29 -- it will look like a dazzling art gallery with grass flooring ... alongside my 184 other neighbors/fellow artists from around the US. It's my fourth time exhibiting there and there's a good reason to return.
Find out more about the Armonk Art Show and link to get a $2 off General Admission Tickets here.
In my booth will be "City Sparkle" -- a all-time favorite painting of mine -- that almost was heading to Thailand instead. This really neat family purchased it a couple of weekends ago but then REALLY crazy shipping costs and fees made them reconsider. Guess what that means? You still have a chance to own it.
Other pieces you'll find in Booth #R-07 include "Park Place" and "Le Soleil d'Or" -- created during my personal painting trip to Paris this past August.
Last Weekend to See "Water Works"
My solo show "Water Works" is almost over. Catch it through Monday, October 1 at the Old Brogue Irish Pub, 760 Walker Road, Great Falls, VA 22066 in the Brogue's Katie's Coffee/Snuggery Dining Room.

And the best option ... if you are in the area ... see it in person! How about this Saturday, September 29 morning? It's steps away from the Artists' Atelier at 756 Walker Road where you can see what's not in Armonk from 10am to 2 pm -- during open hours -- and view "Paint Great Falls Plein Air" works in the Arts of Great Falls Gallery right across the hall.
Last Chance to See the Art from "Paint Great Falls Plein Air" in Person
Five of the 39 paintings from "Paint Great Falls Plein Air" are heading off to new homes. This is a great show with most still hanging in the Arts of Great Falls Gallery at 756 Walker Road Great Falls VA. Don't miss your chance to purchase some fresh art of well-loved landscapes and hidden treasures created in Great Falls by 20 talented artists participating in the September 5-9 competition. My painting, "Station No. 12" was awarded First Place by judge Lynn Mehta.
You can view the show online here (my photography strikes again) ... but if you can, go see it on Saturday, 10am to 2pm. I've been asked so often while at my studio in the Atelier if there is art depicting Great Falls. At this moment, yes! Plenty of great pieces!

hat's shown above. That middle cityscape was purchased last week and will go to its home far, far, far away as soon as the shipping logistics are worked out. Actually, many major pieces have found new homes lately. I will be working on a beautiful new showstopper. Wish me luck and good painting, please!!!!
