Great news! Once again, I have been juried into the Carmel Art Festival which is being held on May 13-16, 2010.

Carmel is one of my favorite painting locations and in last year's event, I received an honorable mention for my painting "Dancing Sycamores". In addition to the scheduled plein air event, I will be having featured show at Gibson Galleries which will include many of my recent paintings. More info on this as things develop...

I've been invited to exhibit in a special group show featuring 5 well-known and collected artists. The show's theme is "Painting Our Favorite Places" and I've got eight new paintings featuring Tuscany, California hils, vineyards, and more to share. 

There will be a special gallery reception on Saturday, October 3rd. (5-7p) where guests are invited to meet and interact with the featured artist's displaying in this show. Myself, Larry Cannon, Teresa Dong, Charles White and Hye Seong Yoon will be available to talk about their art and inspirations for their paintings. 

Lee Youngman Galleries is located at: 1316 Lincoln Ave., Calistoga, CA
