Greg's Watercolor News

Lots has been happening in my art world that I’d like to share with you – both recent exhibits as well as upcoming exhibits. I’ve also begun to sell notecards which I’ll share at the end of this blog.

 Sale of “Saffordville Relic”

One of my largest watercolors, “Saffordville Relic,” sold at the Buttonwood Art Space 2023 Flint Hills Exhibit. This is the largest original I’ve sold to date, so that is very encouraging.

“Selfie at Six Below” selected for a January international online exhibit

During the holidays, I decided to have some fun and paint a self-portrait from a 2019 snowshoe trip in Minnesota. I was surprised that it was selected as a finalist for the January “Portraits” show on the international online Grey Cube Gallery. There were 98 pieces selected from across 15 countries. www.greycubegallery.com

Watercolor painting has become a big part of me in retirement. I find joy in sharing views that I see in the world around me. Thank you for all your interest, and I hope to hear from you or see you at one of the receptions.
