with Dan Dunn, we go back along way .....visit his site www.paintjam.com
Well briefly, this first half of 2009 has been very productive .
I hung paintings in the creative arts center and 2 of them sold
One of the 2 paintings that sold .
Also I sold a painting out of a restaurant that carries my work.
I won 3rd place in the texas bluebonnet and blues festival.
I started and completed 50 paintings before summer. this was a personal challenge posed to me ; after reading about people doing daily paintings and the results greatly added to my confidence in my skills as a painter.
I entered the Waxahachie plein air festival, but unfortunately did not win any ribbons , but knocked out a dozen small paintings .
I did win 1rst place that same weekend at the 2009 Bonham annual art show , and the winning painting sold. 
Windy Day 6x8 oil
I have submitted entries for the Bosque art conservatory show , and plan to enter two more shows this summer .
In the fall I also plan to paint at the Fort Worth Botanical gardens for the Camp fire plein air event .
Well thats a brief update on this year s news .
God Bless ,
Bob
