 VWS Fall Awards Show at the Chaffee Art Center in Rutland, VT Vermont Watercolor Society Westside Hub Show at Stone Valley Arts on Fox Hill in Poultney, VT I've really loved having Rock Ballad hanging on my walls at home for a little while but off it goes to another show, having been selected for Vermont Watercolor Society’s 2026 Fall Awards Show at the Chaffee Art Center in Rutland VT, September 11-October 30. Looking forward to attending the Opening Reception & Awards on Friday, September 11, 5-7pm - it’s not far and will be a well-rounded show of watermedia. Check out a slideshow of all the works in the show on the VWS website HERE. Another Vermont Watercolor Society exhibit I’m very excited to be part of is the VWS Westside Hub Member Show at Stone Valley Arts in Poultney, VT, September 12-November 29. Opening Reception is on Saturday, September 12, 4-6pm. This is a solidly excellent display of works by members of the Vermont Watercolor Society; we each have several paintings in the show, so viewers will really get a sense of all the ways watercolor is a beautiful medium to paint in. I've got nine paintings on exhibit there. In addition, I will bring my watercolor workshop to Stone Valley Arts while the exhibit is up. The workshop takes place on Sunday, October 25, 2-4pm, cost is $40 person. You can sign up HERE!

 Looking forward to participating for the fifth year in a row in Landscapes for Landsake Art Sale & Exhibition, Agricultural Stewardship Association's biggest fundraiser supporting their mission of land conservancy. The art sale will have again feature a live event and an online gallery event. I have 15 pieces available for purchase in the show. Here is the schedule for this year's live and online events, open to the public:
My newest seascape, Nine was accepted into Land, Light, Water & Air, Bryan Gallery's annual signature exhibit in Jeffersonville VT, August 26-October 25. Opening Reception is September 3, 5-7pm. This is my fourth consecutive year of having work selected for this beautiful show. "Nine" refers to the nine little shorebirds getting snacks from the sand while the tide flows out around the beach rocks. Although not in the reference photo, I added the birds in to balance out the composition and give the painting a more interesting story to tell. Nine is an 11"x15" watercolor painting framed to 16"x20", and will be available to purchase in person at the gallery or through the gallery's online gallery HERE. The gallery also offers reasonable and easy shipping. Bryan Gallery is located at 180 Main Street, Jeffersonville VT. Hours are Wednesday-Sunday, 11am-4pm. Phone: 802-644-5100.  My solo show, Seeing Trees will be on exhibit from October 3 - November 14, 2026 in the Elizabeth O'Brien Small Gallery space of North Country Arts' Shirt Factory Gallery. Opening Reception is on Saturday, October 3, 5-7pm as part of NCA's opening reception for its group show in the main part of gallery. Gallery Location; Shirt Factory Bldg., 71 Lawrence St. #114, Glens Falls, NY Gallery Hours: Thursday-Sunday, noon-5pm My eyes are constantly drawn into the woods, immersed in the positive and negative spaces the trees present, pulled by the compelling patterns of branches, leaves and other elements of the forest. Gazing into the woods is calming to me, as my mind starts to weave around and through the trees, auto-piloting through visualizing the composition, marks and colors for a painting. The paintings on exhibit invite viewers along this journey of being drawn into the woods, to seek the mystery of what might be there, what might lie behind the next stand of trees or around the corner of a group of large rocks. There are 21 paintings in the show, ranging in size and price; all are available for sale. NCA gallery only accepts checks and cash at the exhibit, but if you would like to purchase artwork in my show with credit card or venmo, you can do that directly through me and I will reimburse the 30% commission back to the gallery. Contact me through my contact page on my website if interested in purchasing something out of my show and only want to use credit card or venmo, and I will arrange the sale.
