I was invited to judge the art show “Farms and Barns 7” at The Next Picture Show Gallery in Dixon, IL this last Friday. In addition to judging the art show, I was invited to hang a solo exhibition in their lower gallery. It was quite the challenge to pick only six winners out of the 94 wonderful entries. I spent the entire afternoon selecting the winners and writing up my critiques. The evening was attended by over 200 guests and I enjoyed talking to as many artists and guests as possible.It was a very special evening and I want to especially thank Bonnie Kime, executive director of the gallery, and my wife Mary Ann, whose help made everything go flawless. Thanks to my sister and brother-in-law, Joan & Steve, for introducing us to the gallery.
