31st Annual Sears Dixie Invitational Art Show

Sears Art Museum

I will be participating in the 31st annual Robert N. and Peggy Sears Invitational Art Show to be held Feb 16 – April 1, 2018. I will exhibit two paintings: “Ripples of Gold” and “Sands of Time” in the show. Held in the Sears Art Museum Gallery the show will feature over 100 artists. The show begins with a symposium at 3pm February 16 in the Eccles Concert Hall followed by a preview of the exhibit at the DSU Sears Art Museum Gallery . This will follow with a banquet, concluded by the official opening of the show and sale. Patrons may pull “intent to purchase cards” on the displayed pieces.

Watercolor Painting with my Sons

I had fun running my two sons, Jim and Jon, through a three-day "Watercolor Boot Camp" this week. Both are already accomplished artists but wanted some one-on-one studio time with their old dad. We were all exhausted when it was over but it was so fun. Nothing I love better than sharing art with my kids and grandkids.

Favorite Oil Painting

Janae chooses her favorite Roland Lee oil painting

A talented art student named Janae stopped by my art gallery for a visit and I asked her to choose a favorite painting. She chose "Virgin River Glow." I'm sure she will be a successful artist in the future.
