PAINTING IN BUTLER INSTITUTE JURIED ART SHOW 2026

Honoured that my Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly watercolor painting has been accepted into the 86th Area Artists show at the Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio.  The show runs Jan 4 - Feb 15, 2026.  Show details here: https://butlerart.com/art-exhibitions/
I recall my first ever visit to the museum back in 2001 and thought it was a superb museum with a wonderful collection, and here I am in 2026 having a piece hanging in the hallowed halls with such artistic giants like Andrew Wyeth, Edward Hopper, John Singer Sargent, Noman Rockwell, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, etc.  On Dec 11th I dropped off my piece - it's a spectacular collection.
