Beets and Beets

Fresh Market pastel 6x8 $150

What a great little show at the Humphrey Farm Preserve sponsored by the Pastel Society of Colorado. The show was juried by Laura Mehmert.  The painting was of some beets splayed on a farm market table that had caught my eye.  To my delight I received a third place award for the piece.  The show runs until June 24th, if you find yourself near Evergreen.  

AND, I just received the acceptance of my piece Winter Beets to be displayed at the 11th Annual Mile High International Pastel Exhibition July 2 to September 25th at the Denver Public Library, level 7.   This show was juried by Liz Haywood Sullivan

Winter Beets pastel 8x8 $200 

As Jeannette commented when she gave the award, You can't beat that. 

You will see more of my kitchen art this year and my interpretation this year of fruits, vegetables and I can't leave out flowers.   Or maybe more landscapes, or what about those poppies and lilac.  Stay tuned.
