I’m honored to have three of my paintings selected for the El Paso Arts International 2013  Exhibit. You can read more about it below:

The opening will be Saturday, October 5th, 6:00pm to 9:00pm at the Crossland Gallery located at 500 West Paisano.  The show will run through November 2nd, if you want to check it out.

The 3 pieces selected are:

You can’t bulldoze your way to the Highlife, oil on canvas, 48″ X 36″, 2010

Three Chicken Buick – 24″ X 24″, oil on Canvas, 2013

Overland & Paisano – 16″ X 22″, oil on canvas, 2013

I got derailed by a slide down the Breaking Bad rabbit hole.  Now that I’m caught up I can get back to work on this piece, Yo.

This is the last week that you will be able to see my and Martiza Jauregui-Neely’s paintings in the Art Windows of El Paso at the El Paso Airport.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any works in progress. The last couple of months have been kind of crazy with going to Houston and getting a few of my paintings ready and delivered to the airport and city of El Paso.  Oh and there was a job change in there as well.  This is an idea I’ve had for a while so i’m glad to finally get it going.

I was honored to have been selected as a finalist for the 2013 Hunting Art Prize.  My piece “All Tapped out in El Paso” was one of 1600 pieces from around Texas entered. The 3 jurors whittled it down to 109 finalists of which one is selected for the $50,000 prize.  Hunting PLC also matches the prize amount and a total of the sales to a charity, last year the amount was well over $100,000.

This was my first time at the Gala and it was a interesting event.  One of the highlights was meeting fellow El Paso artist Alexandra McGovern, whose entry was next to mine.

The event was well attended, giving the artists lots of visibility and plenty of networking opportunities.  I had lots of interest in my piece, quite possibly due to having my own personal Vanna White:

Virginia and I had a blast and I will definitively continue to enter, who knows I might sell next time!
