Remember this painting? It is called "Tree Study". I photographed the huge tree when I visited Blowing Rock in North Carolina. I used a portion of the tree for my painting. It was shown on my January post after I sent a slide of it off to the Texas Watercolor Society. I was very happy when the juror, Jeanne Dobie, accepted it for the TWS 59th Annual Exhibit. This afternoon I heard from the Texas Watercolor Society. I was informed that I had won the Bronze Award for transparent watercolor. The award includes a lovely bronze medallion and a check for $1000. I have not yet come down from Cloud Nine. I like it up here and may stay for awhile.

My Paintings at the Art Market Gallery
The five paintings shown here are featured this month of March at the Art Market Gallery in downtown Knoxville, TN. Visit http://www.artmarketgallery.net/ for an overview of the gallery.
White Phalaenopsis was shown in an earlier blog. View January: Five Orchid Paintings.
This White Orchid painting was also posted in January's blog: Five Orchid Paintings
This is Lace Cap Hydrangeas. $600. plus shipping
Sunlit Grapes has been shown in three national exhibits: Watercolor West, California Watercolor Association, and the Transparent Watercolor Society of America. It won Best of Show at the Palm Springs Desert Museum.
The Silver Pitcher was painted because I like reflections. I bought the shining pitcher solely to use in still life set-ups. This is the first time I used it. It also can be seen in my very first blog, December 2007: "Fuji Reflections". Contact me at genieven@gmail.com if any of these paintings interest you. Leave an comment. It is easy to do.

The Magnolia painting on the easel welcomes guests to the Art Market Gallery
The Featured Artist Wall shows five of my paintings and the ceramics of Erline McKay I have been a member of this beautiful cooperative gallery in downtown Knoxville since August, 2007. Each month two of our artist members are featured, one is a 2-D artist and the other is a 3-D artist. On the first Friday of each month the gallery stays open until 9:30 PM and offers hors d'oeuvres, wine, and music for our guests. This has become a very popular happening. We draw 500 - 600 guests on that night. Visit http://www.artmarketgallery.net/ for a view of the gallery and the work of some of the members.
