My father found steak sauce personally offensive.  He thought that the use of steak sauce was a not so subtle indication that his grilling skills were not up to par.  “The steak is perfect as it is,” he would say at every grilling opportunity.  I suppose it is a lesson learned.  Sometimes a steak is a steak, and a steak should be good enough.  Representational art, FOR ME, can sometimes be likened to a sauceless steak, wonderful as it is…just not my preference.  I know some of you do fantastic representational work, and I have a twinge of guilt that I don’t post more shows for you.  Hopefully this one will make up a little ground…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 21st Annual National Exhibition of Representational Oil Painings from Oil Painters of America to be exhibited at the Evergreen Fine Art Gallery in Evergreen, Colorado. The cost is high because you have to be a member, but the prizes are huge.  Make me proud…
