I have just accepted an offer from the Humphreys County Executive to start a new mural on the John Willams attorney office building next to the Humphreys County Court House in Waverly, Tennessee. The mural size will be: 10ftx 75ft. Rough drafts have been made for submission and review by the Committee Group, and after opting for their choice..I will begin the mural. It should be completed by October 17, 2009 which is the 200th Birthday of Humphreys County. Today is...September 13. I will be using Liquitex Professional Acrylics for the inital mural, and sealing it with several coats of sealer. There are so many different sealers available now. If you happen to drive through Waverly and see a guy up on a scaffold with a paintbrush in his hand..it will be me. I enjoy a challange..and with a time frame of 30 days for completion...this will be a challange.
Other points of interest that I will be taking on include the Blueridge Wildlife Festival in Blueridge, Georgia this coming weekend, the Southern Wildlife Festival in Decatur, Alabama next month...and the NWTF 34rd Annual Convention in Nashville which will be Feb. 18-21 in 2010. As I mentioned in a previous blog post...I have joined forces with 3 other outstanding Wildlife artists, and we will be displaying our new group name: The Arts of Hunting & Fishing at the NWTF Convention at booth #35...look us up. The new web site for our group will be up and running soon as well, and I will announce it everywhere that I can including my Blog. I hope to see everyone that can make it to these shows this year, and as was mentioned on my site..I always have time to shake a hand and chat about the art world with anyone that has an interest. I have posted many new works, and there are several more that will be posted as they are completed.
Many folks have inquired about art classes recently, and I have had the pleasure of having Mrs. Sue Bradley as an advanced student in my studio over the past few months. Sue has had professional training with Lorie Putnam of Nashville as well as several other professional artists. She is an avid outdoorswoman with an eye for Wildlife in both her photography as well as her artwork, and I have really enjoyed teaching my techniques and theorys of creating Wildlife artwork to her. Sue is also a new member of the North Carolina Wildlife Artists Society. My congratulations go out to her!!
