Last week while on vacation in California I received an exciting e-mail notifying me that "Marbles IV" had been juried into the National Oil and Acrylic Painters' Society's (NOAPS) 24th Annual "Best of America" Exhibition and Sale.  I have entered NOAPS online competitions in the last year, but this is the first time I entered the annual show.  This show is different in that it is hung in two different venues one after the other.  The first venue is the Dunnegan Gallery of Fine Art in Bolivar, MO from October 12th to the 26th.   The second venue is The Vine Wine Bar and Gallery  in Osage Beach, MO from November 1st to the 22nd.
