With the Apple Blossom Festival coming up in Winchester Virginia, I submitted my painting "Crowsnest Pass Afternoon" to the selection committee of the Shen Arts Gallery. I was pleasantly surprised to have been selected to show at the gallery and in outdoor exhibits in the walking mall in Winchester throughout the month of April!

There are so many amazing artists in the show and I'm humbled to have my painting included. I am more excited to paint than ever and really enjoy the places I go in my head during the process. If people see it or enjoy it then that is a bonus.

Without the support of my amazing wife Mercedes and step daughters Jazmin & Tiana, I would not have the time, encouragement or belief to keep painting.
