What a pleasure it was attending the Oil Painters of America National Art Show at the Devin Gallery in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho and painting during the week with many talented OPA members like Nancy Crookston. I am glad to report my painting "Cello Recital" (posted in my Gallery) sold the day after the Artists' Reception. The entire Show will hang through the end of the month. Go to http://www.oilpaintersofamerica.com to see the best the U.S., Canada and Mexico have to offer this year.
