New paintings online

Good Day All,

Just a quick note to let you know that I've posted a couple of new images online. They can be found at http://www.fioravanti-fineart.com/online.htm I've been busy, but mostly with placing a captcha on my web site contact page as I was getting a number of spam posts through my web site. Other things that have kept me busy is being a judge for the Danvers Art Association Autumn Show, and presenting my work to the Old Colony CWRT at their annual dinner. Lots of travel, which includes the pick=up of my work from the Connecticut Pastel Society Juried show down in West Hartford, CT., on 10/25/08. Whew! It's all good though as we travel about "Painting the Soul of America!"

I won an award in the Connecticut Pastel Society national show

Well, driving through the rain has its rewards. I found out today that the pastel painting “Winter’s Glow (Lynn Woods)” which I dropped off on Saturday for the 15th Annual Renaissance in Pastel National Juried Exhibition has won an award!! I won the “Allied Artist of America” award. I guess that’s karma, since my tagline it “Painting the Soul of America” I believe it’s a cash award too; always a good thing!!

As a reminder for any who might be in the area, the exhibition is sponsored by the Connecticut Pastel Society and is held at the Saltbox and Clubhouse Galleries in West Hartford, Connecticut. Gallery hours are 1-4 PM, Thursday – Sunday, and the exhibition runs from October 2 – 26, 2008.
