Oil Painters of America

As a member of Oil Painters of America (OPA), you can submit to the Online Showcase, a members' event hosted on the OPA website. There are three Showcases every year--Spring, Summer, Fall--I've entered a number of times. The last, OPA Online Showcase Fall 2022, featured nine of my paintings. (Follow the link and scroll about halfway down.) One of them was "Down by the River,"a studio work from last November. 

"Down by the River," oil on panel, 12x16

This one is a particular favorite because the view is of a wetland trail along the Middle Raccoon River. In late summer, drifts of wildflowers light the meadows--the mauve Joe Pye weed among them. The place is almost enchanted.
