 © Glendalyn Doom Specht – Lees Ferry: The Start of an Adventure "My most influential instructors have been Dale Popovich, watercolorist and Jon McDonald, Illustration and Medical Illustration. I love to work in watercolor more than any other medium because of the freedom and movement of the paint and water, and because of the magic that happens as it dries." – Glendalynn Doorn-Specht  #Glendalyyn Doorn-Specht won Best of Show at the 2014 Michigan Artist Competition. back in June. Glendalynn had attended my night classes at the American Academy of Art with her mom in the 80s. She had a demanding fulltime job at Leo Burnett as a media buyer, but had an intense passion for learning and art. She took part-time fundamentals classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and I found her to be a very good draft person with a strong desire to learn how to #DrawAndPaint. Some 30 years later, after raising a family, she again contacted me at my studio to pick up #DrawingAndPainting. She's taking classes with me at the Palette & Chisel in Chicago and has also attended classes in my private studio in my home. After several months of working hard she received the first place award at The 2014 Michigan Artists Competition. Glendalynn's contact email is [email protected].

UPDATE: Great evening last night. Attended the 36th Annual Indiana Heritage Exhibition in Nashville, Indiana. As always it was an impressive show with some of the best classical trained talent Indiana has to offer. I'm always humbled when I get the postcard letting me know I'm included in this year's juried exhibition. The collection was primarily oil but also included 6 watercolors, 10 pastels, 6 acylics, a charcoal, a pencil, a graphite and a blockprint. There were 121 pieces in in total. Marilee and I arrived when the doors opened. I knew from the postcard all three watercolors made it in and one was a winner. I was overwhelmed to see my painting 'Miner's Falls' won third place -- $2000 prize. In addition, by the end of the evening 'A Quiet Spring Flowage' was sold. It was a great day – WooHoo. http://www.indianaheritagearts.org/indiana/2014show.html  JUNE 5TH: All three of my watercolors have been accepted into the IHA 36th Annual Exhibition & Sale in Nashville, IN. Got the postcard today and it's stamped IHA Winner–WOO-HOO! This is my 10th year of being included in this prestiges show. This is a great show – one of my favorites because it continues to promote the Brown County Art Colony philosophy. A must see. It will not disappoint. www.indianaheritagearts.org Friday, June 6th will be the opening and awards ceremony. Doors open at 5:00pm eastern time. The Prize winners will collect potentially 90 thousand dollars in awards and purchases if the record pace from the 2013 show continues.  Juror of Selection was Jason Allen Saunders.

During and shortly after college, Jason travelled to study with three of America’s most treasured artists: Everett Kinstler, Matt Smith, and Scott L. Christensen. Currently, Jason lives and paints primarily in the beautiful hills of middle Tennessee.
