Well, I can finally show my painting to you!All that work I was doing for weeks and weeks here in my little studio on this big project and I had to keep it under wraps.
I did seven studies before painting the large oil. I'm sharing the studies on my blog so you can see the process of how the idea evolved.
The unveiling was last week. It was a festive event in a nearby resort area. Everyone oohed and ahhed when we took the covering away to show the painting for the first time. Then I signed a bunch of posters for people.

The framed painting is being auctioned off with silent bids to benefit The Festival of Sandpoint. Last I heard, the bid was at $2,500.
If you would like to get in on the bidding, you can call the Festival office at (888) 265-4554 or show up at The Festival August 4-14 to place a bid while you enjoy the fabulous concerts. Here's the line-up of music artists scheduled to appear.
You can also order a signed poster at the phone number above. Or you can purchase one at The Festival for an amazing ten bucks, and I'll be on hand to personalize it for you.
