Kiwanis Western Art Show

January 25th marks the opening of the 45th Annual Kiwanis Western Art Show in San Antonio. This will be my first year to participate in this prestigious event. The exhibition and sale will be in the Pioneer Memorial Museum at 3805 Broadway, next to the Witte Museum. The exhibit will be open Jan. 25-27 and Feb. 1-3. Over 100 artists will be showcasing their original work. http://www.alamo-kiwanis.org/





Of the eight paintings in my exhibit, "Secret Cibolo" is a favorite. I created it from a sketch I did sitting on the banks of the Cibolo in Boerne's Cibolo Wilderness Preserve. It's a wonderfully peaceful place with the waters gently swirling around the cypress knees. I was alone there that day and felt like I had this secret hideaway all to myself.

Smith Art Gallery at Scott White Hospital

I'm excited to be having a one woman show at the Smith Art Gallery at the huge regional complex of Scott White Hospital. There are thirteen paintings that will be on display for the month of September. Gallery co ordinator, Jackie Cicora, told me that 3,000 people will pass by the exhibit each day. And after spending only a couple of hours there hanging the paintings, I can believe it! This main corridor seemed to be at the core of this busy place and before we even had the paintings unpacked, people were stopping to look. Hopefully, many of the patients, family and staff will be uplifted for a small moment of their day by my art. Each piece is titled and many have information about the place that inspired its creation. Numbers are references to the price list that Jackie will keep for those who are interested in 'adopting' a painting. Or, I can be contacted at llchalberg@hughes.net.
