Last April when I began the A to Z Blog Challenge, I had no idea it would become an art project and an exhibition. Since I already had developed an interest in creating wild animal
canvases to go with my novel,
Jungle Jeopardy, I found myself painting mostly creatures from the wild for this project. Only one of the 26 Animal Alphabet paintings is not the original from the Challenge. That one is the "D" painting for "Dragonfly and Daffodils". It was the only pastel painting in the project, so I decided to use it as a reference for an acrylic painting on canvas that would better fit in with the other acrylics in the show.
Gallery owner Fred Miller did an outstanding job hanging the show which also features the two paintings I made for
Jungle Jeopardy. The exhibition will be on view at
Prince George Art and Frame in Williamsburg, Virginia through November 30.
