What an exciting and eventful couple of weeks – my painting 'Wash Down' won first place in the oil category in the 20th Annual SOBA Member Judged Show last Sunday. I was so surprised and delighted  – especially because there was tons of really good competition.

And I was invited by owners Ann and Rick Reinert to join the new Yellow Door Gallery on King Street in Charleston. They accepted all 20 of the paintings I took up on Thursday!

Also so lucky to have joined the great group of artists at the Fishbone Gallery in Bluffton. Owner and potter extraordinaire Maria Slough and husband Paul threw a wonderful opening celebration the week before.

Such good stuff –  I am just on cloud nine!
