CAROL
COSGROVE was awarded 2nd Place at the
6th Annual Dublin Paintout for her oil painting
entitled Breakfast on the Patio. Juror comments:
"Not too many artists would take on this challenge
for and entirely red dominate painting, The artist
uses a broad spectrum of reds from the cool
(purples) to the warm (oranges) to create the value
shifts. The composition of the umbrellas create a
playful feeling in the painting." 3rd Place was
awarded to GARY CHACONAS
for his Oil titled "Street Scene". Juror commentsL
"Effective use of under painting that makes the
painting pop in unexpected spots. I like the loose
spontaneous brushwork. The edges are well controlled
and effective. Further your choice of canvas size
really complements your composition." Congrats to
you both!!!

PAUL REIF
will be the opening exhibition for The Glen

are redoing the entire atrium with new wall surfaces
and lighting. It made my day to know I would be
first to show in the new area. I'm going to need at
least 14 new large landscapes for this show.
Paul completed a show at "the Winds" in February and sold two
large paintings. The Winds was so happy his work
that they've ask him back again next year which will
require at least 18 new paintings.
Says Paul, "I took two new yellow tulip paintings to the
gallery last week. While there a doctor came in who
had bought one of my large flower paintings. She
wants the gallery owner and myself to come to her
home when the weather breaks to look at the rooms
and suggest what she needs in art work. After that,
get busy and paint. Looks like my next two years
will be busy. Congrats Paul!"
