Maine Open Juried Art Show

"Morning Sun on Old Glory"
8"x8" $450 (Framed)
Acrylic

I'm pleased to report that two* of my artworks have been juried into the 24th Annual Maine Open Juried Art Show (MOJAS) in Waterville, ME.  According to the Waterville Area Art Society web site www.waasmaine.org/, "The Waterville Area Art Society and Waterville Main Street (MOJAS) are proudly co-presenting the 2014 Maine Open Juried Art Show at the Waterville Public Library in Downtown Waterville. Now entering its 24th year, the Maine Open Juried Art Show attracts over 80 artists representing over 50 Maine communities and a variety of media, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, and other media."

I've entered this competition almost every year since 2005 and my work has received several awards including a second place (last year), a third place and several "Special Merit Awards" in the Acrylics division.

This show is diverse in both subject matter and styles and well worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood between now and April 26th.

* My second piece is titled "Border Violation" (in the "Other Media" category) but, unfortunately, I don't have a photo of it.
