Art by Mary McGovern: Art Show!

I will be showing two paintings in the San Antonio Art League and Museum's 87th Annual Artist Exhibition, opening Sunday April 9th, 2017, 3-5 pm. The opening is free, and the show will run until May 27th , if you can't make it that day. The museum is in a beautiful building down in the King William area.

The two painting that were juried into the show are Winter Deer Skull, a hyper-realist oil painting that I worked on for about a year, and a little butterfly painted on gold leaf. Deer Skull also won an award, I'm not sure what exactly, but can't wait to find out! The little butterfly looks amazing as you walk around it, the gold leaf shines and changes with the angle. Sadly I didn't take better pictures or videos of the butterfly before I took it in, I wasn't expecting it to be picked. It's always a gamble entering pieces into a juried show, because you never know what kind of art the jurors will like. But luckily this time the gamble paid off, and I'll have to wait until later to get some better photos of the butterfly. 😀
