St Paul Winter Carnival, Acrylic on Maple Board 8 x 10″ Copyright 2010

This weekend I waited in line just like a few thousand other artists from MN at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, to submit for Foot in the Door 4.  The show will be on view February 19, 2010—Sunday, June 13, 2010 in Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program (MAEP) Gallery at the MIA.  The opening reception is Thursday, February 18, which should be quite the event, considering how many artists are involved!  Videos submissions will be on view online.

The painting pictured above is my entry for the show, it depicts St Paul Winter Carnival a few weeks back.  Near the St Paul Central library before I could see it I could smell the sugar and grease of the mini doughnuts.
