International Artist Magazine


Daylilies and Japanese Lantern
Acrylic on gessoed hardboard, 11 x 8.5",#67
Private collection- Moncton, NB

One of my painting is currently featured in the February/March issue of International Artist Magazine (#59) on page 59. I've just picked up a copy, and it's an exciting moment in this stage of my artistic career. I was contacted back in 2005 for the possibility of being included in their "Master Painter" section. A painting entitled "Dayliles and Japanese Lantern" done in 2004, had caught their attention. It is definitely a spirit booster, and I am honored by the accolade. View this LINK for details.

Congratulations, Alvin! This is a well deserved recognition of the level and impact of your painting. What a wonderful way to start the year, and motivate you through those days where it's hard to start a new piece! Enjoy the attention this will bring to you - and again, congratulations.

Your kindness and goodwill is very appreciated Joanne. Thanks you so much for contacting me to let me know that I was included in the current issue, since I don't have a subscription.

I'm such an idiot. I just called you "David". Too much Dammar varnish in the house today. The congrats still stands though!
