Southwest Art Magazine

The April issue will include an article on Texas painters called "Deep in the Heart of Texas" that will feature six signature members of the Outdoor Painters Society. I am fortunate to be one of them. Each artist will have a page showing one painting with his/her comments.

Update: the painting chosen to appear in the article is "Heritage Village".

Western Art Collector Magazine

April looks to be a good month! There will also be a feature article on the OPS in Western Art Collector accompanied by a full page ad that will include one of my paintings.

Coastal Paintout

Again this year I will be participating in the annual Port Aransas Coastal Paint Out. It will be held October 14-16 and should be a lot of fun.


 Outdoor Painters Society

Whenever I can I like to mention the OPS. It's a group that Bruce Peil and I started back in 1996. Our objective was to provide incentive and opportunity to paint outdoors and it has been more successful than we could ever have imagined. The membership has grown from an original eight members to around 200. We get together every month or so to paint (except for a couple of hot Texas summer months), sometimes for a day, a weekend or a week.

In 2005 the group was restructured to be more professional (which was the way many people viewed it anyway) and the next year we hosted our first major annual exhibition, "Plein Air Texas". In 2009 the show will be called "Plein Air Southwest" and we will exhibit paintings done in the Grand Canyon, the Ouray/Telluride area of Colorado, Big Bend National Park and the Texas Hill Country.

Please visit the OPS website for more information about this exciting and growing group of artists.
