Rebecca Zook Accepted for "Art and Conservation: Our Hidden Treasures" Show

I'm really excited. I found out about an art show that combines my love of art with that of the environment. Specifically Texas Landscapes. You could only submit one piece on order to be considered for this project which was juried by a committee of 3 people, so I submitted "Calm" shown here. I found out today I was one of the chosen artists.

This show is put on by the "Hill Country Council for the Arts." Each artist will be paired with a private landowner in the Texas Hill Country and will be given 4 opportunities, one in each season, to visit the property to find inspiration for painting. This is pure landscape. They ask that we avoid any manmade structures in our pieces. I haven't received my landowner pairing yet, but can't wait to find out! The work will be exhibited at the Cibolo Nature Center & Farm and possibly a second location in April 2015. Prizes will be awarded and all pieces will be for sale of course.

This is their synopsis of the show.
"Art and Conservation: Our Hidden Treasures began in 2007 as a collaboration between the Cibolo Nature Center & Farm and the Hill Country Council for the Arts. Some of the astonishingly beautiful and unique “Hidden Treasures” of the Texas Hill Country are hidden away on private property. Others are often overlooked as we pursue our busy lives. Art and Conservation promotes works of art that focus on these local natural resources by giving artists special access to private land and encouraging work inspired by local public lands, such as parks and along Texas back roads."
