After recently completing “Reflections on Cool Jazz,” I discovered an opportunity to enter the piece in a Texas-only art competition. The competition known as The Hunting Art Prize is held annually in Houston and is one of the nation’s more revered art competitions. It is limited to artists living in Texas and limited to two-dimensional drawing and painting pieces using only traditional media (pencil, pastel, paint, etc.). No sculpture is admitted, nor is photography or graphic art (computer generated). The piece must be available for sale. Juried pieces are on exhibit in Houston in the spring and only one is selected as a winner. Even though I was planning on entering ‘Cool Jazz’ in the CPSA International Exhibition in 2013, I have changed my mind and am taking a shot at this prestigious competition. If it is not accepted, I will then enter it in the CPSA show. Let’s see how the judges like colored pencil artwork!
