On August 18 an exhibit opened at Pipp Memorial Hospital in Plainwell, Michigan. It was a juried selection and four of my paintings were chosen.

The exhibit starts at the beginning of a hall way waiting area with my painting of Charlie and Lula (Beach Babies).

“Ruth” (Day Dream) was chosen as well:

If these two pieces look over-framed, it’s because they are 🙂 The idea to enter for this show came up quite suddenly and I didn’t have time to have anything framed, so I made a quick trip to The Heritage Architectural Salvage Company downtown and found these two wonderful frames with glass that I thought might work. Not perfect, but they are getting the job done.

The bar is not set terribly high for this exhibit, but It’s a start and the encouragement from the other artists with The Southwest Michigan Art Association (http://www.swmaa.org/main/) is very nice. There are a lot of talented folks in Pure Michigan.
