I have submitted a proposal and painting to an Open Call for Artists by 3rd Ward, a gallery in Brooklyn. The Judges will choose one winner from all submitted portfolios that will win a large cash grant, 3-months of studio working space and a solo exhibition held at 3rd Ward.
*crosses fingers*
The other cash prize goes to the highest rated painting online by the public.
So… it would be amazing if you could go to this link and click Rate This Artist, at the top of the webpage.
The gallery allows you to rate once each day until July 31st.

Project Proposal:
The photo submitted is a work in progress. If I am selected as the winner of the three month residency at 3rd Ward, I will complete this painting and paint three more giant landscapes, one each month. The landscapes will balance between abstract brushstrokes and highly rendered objects on a grand atmospheric scale. They will be colorful expressions inspired by the immense, vibrant and recycling nature of existence.
