Birds In Art 2010

It is with great pleasure and pride that I announce the selection of "Nuthatch and Crabapple" for inclusion in the 2010 Birds In Art exhibit in Wausau, Wisconsin. Birds In Art is perhaps the most prestigious wildlife art exhibit in the world and is organized and hosted by the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. It is truly a remarkable event! This marks the 4th consecutive year I've been fortunate enough to impress the jurors with my work. Now that the anxiety of the jury process if over, the burden of living up to this prestigious honor begins anew.

Hey Jim, Glad to read the good news. Facebook was all a flutter yesterday morning after the emails were being opened by all. This year, I will be in Wausau, barring volcanic ash floating around in the clouds! Congrats to you.

Jim-- Well deserved congratulations to you! I look forward to seeing you there. It should be a blast. It being my first time, maybe you can show me the ropes? --Ray

Jim,
Congratulations you deserve it. All your hard work is paying off. We talked about this at a bar once upon a time.

Chris and I wish you the best.
