Annual online juried exhibition of the International Association of Pastel Societies.

An international, juried show presented by the Red Rock Pastel Society of Nevada and shown at the Priscilla Fowler Fine Art Gallery, 1308 Main Street, Las Vegas, NV

This online exhibition received 494 entries from 183 artists. I am honored to have two of my paintings accepted. My thanks go to jurors Daniel J. Keys, Tai Meng Lim, and Kim Lordier.

Waiting in Red was so suited for this exhibition focused on the color red. I guess jurors, Marla Baggetta, Irina Klimova. and Stephie Clark, as well as judge, Sergey Pietilä, agreed because the painting received the Best in Show award.

My painting Kaffeklatsch won Second Place in the Gold Category and won the People's Choice award, as well.

Playing Piano on the Porch was selected to be a part of this international online exhibition
