Also, Karen has been invited by jury into the 2010 Cheyenne Frontier Days Western Art Show and Sale; she is really excited about that! Karen recently finished another wonderful bovine pastel called "S. Gertrudis" which she had planned to use for a show on the West Coast but the minute the owner of the subject calf saw the work he asked to acquire it, so another artwork went to California instead.

She was also accepted to the Pastel Society of America show for another bovine painting. Rita Kirkman Rita won First Place in Pastel and the Sponsor Award at the New Braunfels Art League Gallery special show "Texas" in July.
