The second accepted submission for this competition is called "Riding With Dad", and is a mixed media collage 24x30", that was done after seeing the film There Will Be Blood. Although I disliked the movie for its violence, there were scenes of the father and son riding in their open Model "T" together in their matching long shami coats that strongly impressed me, so much so, that I borrowed the book from the Library the movie is based on to delve deeper, "Oil" by Upton Sinclair.
The writing was so picturesque, it described the road laying out like a ribbon across the land and the collage also incorporates ribbons symbolizing roads, years that were significant landmarks of the era and a few of the phrases that struck me are included. I'm sorry this jpeg does not show that detail...so come to the exhibit if you are in the Stamford, Connecticut area - google Stamford Art Association for dates and times.

Hi there, I have not had a chance to look at all of your paintings but so far what I have seen is just absolutely beautiful. I will definately be back to have a look. I also paint but mine is just I guess you could say decorative, some are using the One Stroke Donna Dewberry technique. I have a blog and I am thinking next month might be adding some paints I have done. I do my own Christmas cards also and my family loves them. Ok Im ramblin, I do love your page..fantastic work!!!
