October found me juried into the Evanston Art Walk sponsored by Anatomically Correct. For November through December 15, I have been honored by being juried into InchWorks sponsored by the North Shore Art League. http://www.northshoreartleague.org/flash.html Paintings could not exceed 12"_12" which is quite a challenge for me as I prefer to paint much larger. My entry was called Autumn Flowers. In January I will have a painting on exhibit at the Wright Gallery at College of Lake County. My 30 limited repro sketches of "music makers" seem to be selling A-OK.
