American Plains Artists have their annual show - Art of the Plains - September 9th through October 30th, 2011 in Las Cruces, New Mexico.  It was judged by Robert "Shoofly" Schufelt.  The museum is at the New Mexico Farm and Ranch Museum, 4100 Dripping Springs Road.  I was honored by having two of my paintings juried into this show.  This is one of two shows that I have made it into in New Mexico this year.  New Mexico is really my second home.  I lived there for about eleven years and my oldest daughter was born there.  I lived in Albuquerque.  I especially enjoyed the balloon fiesta and that will be going on during this show.  I won't be able to attend but, I love the fact that I have two paintings in the Land of Enchantment.  The paintings that made it are; A Pat Before the Irons and Catch Pen.
