    The American Plains Artists (APA) National Juried Exhibition is being held at the Great Plains Art Museum, 1155 Q Street, Lincoln, Nebraska through November 28th, 2010. I was pleased to see the show and attend the opening reception on October 1st.  Many members of the APA from across the country were in attendance (as seen in this photo) as well as Allan Duerr, co-publisher of Art of the West, the awards juror. The caliber of the work was outstanding...I certainly didn't envy the job that Allan had to do in deciding on awards! I was honored to have two of my paintings included in the exhibition, "Hill Country Farmstead" and "Ol' Giovanni", both 11x14 plein air oil paintings. The entire exhibition, including photos from the opening reception can be seen at www.AmericanPlainsArtists.com. If you happen to be in the Lincoln, Nebraska, area, I highly recommend seeing the show! Many thanks also to the show organizers for planning an enjoyable day on Saturday, October 2nd, including a lecture by Allan Duerr, a visit to the Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art (www.bonecreek.org) in David City, NE, and Makovicka Winery (www.makovickawinery.com) in Brainard, NE.
