As usual, I try to find online exhibits to enter. It can be challenging, Gallerium and Exhibizone are good places for that. Each show has its own theme and if I can wrap my head around what it is, I try to find something I've done that will fit or I paint something new for it.
Early in the year, the theme was I See U. I used a digital painting that I had done a few years ago. I always liked how it turned out and it was the perfect image for this particular competition.
In March, the theme was Scenic. This painting is of a favorite vacation destination of mine: Stanley, Idaho. It's notable that this scene is in winter because Stanley often has the coldest temperature in the continental United States.
The last one was Nuditas, obviously based on the nude figure. I actually did a new digital painting for this one and thought it was pretty cool, but it was not selected. This traditional drawing in charcoal and pastel did get selected. It was done a while ago, but I've always like it; it's my take on Death and the Maiden.
