Every other year our arts council sponsors an art show
juried by an Alaskan artist.
I entered two pieces in the show and one was chosen!
This is the one that is in the show:
 |
| Fairmeadows Jersey Farm (3M Ranch ... Mud, Misery & Manure), oil on panel, 13 x 16 inches |
I posted it in this blog before - February 2016.
This painting isn't for sale
because it has so much meaning for me.
Even more now since
my father died this past October 29 at 91 years old.
The ranch meant the world to him and it still does to my family.
I am so grateful that Southeast Alaska artist Evon Zerbetz selected my painting and am heading over soon to see the show. (I was out of town for the opening on January 6.)
Reading that post from last year, I mentioned that I would post a photo of this painting in its frame:

Hope everyone's new year is starting out well with good plans and high hopes for the year.
Cheers and happy painting!

Nice! Love the texture.
So sorry about the loss of your dad. A beautiful painting to be cherished by your family forever! And I noticed the caption: Mud, Misery & Manure - hahaha - the less glamorous side of ranching, for sure.
Congratulations on getting juried into the show, Teri. Mr. Zerbetz has very good taste!
Thank you so much, Chris. I still cannot believe he is gone. The 3M Ranch was something my folks said tongue-in-cheek, but it often was pretty true! Just so you know, Evon Zerbetz is a female. Very honored to have you comment.
