Wow!

"Daily Special" was selected by juror/artist Brienne Brown as the Best in Show winner of the September 2016 BoldBrush Painting Competition, a monthly online contest. See all the winning entries for the September competition here: http://faso.com/boldbrush/winners/187

In that same contest, my painting "Reverence" was voted as a FAV15 -- the Fine Art Views staff's favorite top 15% of the month's entries.

That Best in Show was out of a whopping 1,440 entries. Can you imagine selecting the winning entries and finalists out of that many images? To see all the entries, click here.

The award comes with a $1000 cash prize and an upcoming feature article in Informed Collector, a free online newsletter focused on delivering relevant content/advice for art collectors.

"Daily Special" is currently available for purchase.

This was an awfully nice boost before heading off to Texas to compete in the En Plein Air Texas painting competition. Good luck?
