US Coast Guard Art Exhibit - Coos Bay

My painting above will be part of the US Coast Guard Art Exhibit at the Coos Art Museum in Coos Bay Oregon. This show will feature 18 COGAP artists and 12 of the artists are members of COGAP from the west coast. COGAP, US Coast Guard Art Program, is comprised of many professional juried artists living across the US who donate their work to the program to show the various missions performed by the US Coast Guard.

The Coos Art Museum is a great looking museum and has many diverse shows throughout the year. I strongly urge any of you that can get to the museum to stop by and see this show. 
Show Date - Aug 3 to Oct 5, 2013.

Juried into Coos Bay Show

"Koho At High Tide"

12" X 16" Oil on Panel
I was just informed that my painting "Koho At High Tide" was juried into the 17th Annual Maritime Art Exhibition at the Coos Art Museum in Coos Bay Oregon. This show is an annual show sponsored by the American Society of Marine Artists. They had 232 submissions by 97 artists and the judges selected 66 works by 41 artists. Very cool! Getting one of my paintings juried into this show with members of the American Society of Marine Artists is a nice feather in my cap...the work in this show is usually very high quality Marine work.

Another nice thing is that two of the 3 judges are two of my favorite artists...Austin Dwyer, a Signature Member of ASMA and June Carey, a Fellow in ASMA. Austin does incredible Marine work and June not only paints great California scenes of the wine country but does fantastic coastal scenes.

I'm hoping to actually go to this show in July. I missed the last one that I was in a few years back because I had another show going on down here that weekend. As the show approaches the CAM website will post pics of the paintings in the show and it's always a rush to see something I've painted in with this caliber of painters. I'm jazzed! The show runs July 17 - Sep 18 at the Coos Art Museum in Coos Bay Oregon.
