The Brenham Fine Arts League Annual show was this weekend and it was a good time. The Professional Oil Category was very large and the competition was stout. "Brenham Poppies" won a First Honorable Mention and is now qualified for the Lone Star Art Guild's Convention.
The Judge Glenn Bahm was very complimentary in his critique and suggested that I do a few tweeks to the painting to take it to a higher level. I very seldom start again on a painting after it's signed, but his suggestions actually answered a few questions I actually had about the work myself. I'm not going to share what Glenn saw and I agree with. After I do the touch ups I'll repost to see if anyone can figure out what we did. Sound like fun?

About Me

- BlogbyShep
- My name is Bob Shepherd, but when I paint I'm known as "Shep". I love to paint people. Happy people. Sad people. People dancing. People in contemplation. Old people. Young people. Lately I've gotten into painting new things and I'm enjoying the challenge. Flowers and still life's have been fun. My blog is here to show you what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. If I'm doing your commission you can follow the progress of your "PortraitbyShep". If you'd like me to do your portrait please notify me through the blog. Please enter your email above and I hope you enjoy the blog. Shep
