The Power of Balance is headed to Arkansas! Art of the Heartland Show

The Power of Balance Oil 11x14 by Marsha Lehmann The Power of Balance has been juried into the Art of the Heartland Show in Mena, Arkansas. I'm very pleased to be a part of this fine show put on by the SouthWest Artists. Making this even more special is to be juried into the show by the renown artist Andre Pater- here is the info about him, I am truly honored. The awarding juror is the world renowned sporting artist, Andre Pater, considered by the international art community to be the greatest in the sporting art field since Alfred Munnings.  Andre Pater is considered to be the heir to the artistic throne vacated when the revered Munnings died.   As affirmation of that genius, the London exhibit sold out the over 30 paintings offered, to a huge, enthusiastic crowd in only 21 minutes.  At a Sotheby’s Sporting Art sale, an Andre Pater pastel set the record for a non-oil work by a living artist.

A Photo at Sunset....

Coming from a fun evening photographing an enthusiastic group of young people at a Youth Rodeo, I had to stop and turn around to take this photo - it was taken north of Buffalo, South Dakota. Rugged beauty - I've always been fascinated with the hills in this area...and I was blessed to happen by at that exact moment. I hope you enjoy as well. Have a great weekend. photograph by MLL  August 2016

I learned today that Harvey Rattey, Glendive MT Sculpture passed away Dec. 7. I was recommending Harvey and his wife Pamela Harr, another wonderful artist for an interview, knowing their rich life they have led from Bozeman to their ranch at Glendive, would be a great read when I learned he had passed. We met Harvey at the Prairie Skies Art Show & Auction held by
