Latest Completed Painting: The "PGA Championship Course, Number 15" PGA Resort, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

I am very pleased to post here my latest completed painting, "PGA Championship Course, Number 15", Original Oil, 24" x 36" [unframed] located at the world-reknown PGA Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

This course is the home of the PGA's "Honda Classic" and has served as the site of a previous Ryder Cup, as well as previous Champion Tour stops.

I based this painting on many photos that I took this past summer. In addition, I have been fortunate to have played this hole many times over the past years. Hole Number 15, one of the finishing holes in the treacherous "Bears Claw" [designed by Jack Nicklaus], is a beautiful and intimidating one at the same time with its water hazards and tight driving, landing areas.

"PGA Championship, Number 15" will be the "feature" painting for my first outdoor art show for the 2009/10 season, the 22nd Annual Las Olas Art Fest, October 24, 25,2009. (my complete 2009/10 Show Schedule can be found on my web site, www.gregshermanart.com)

The original will then be first avialable for sale, together with limited edition Giclee prints for this show as well as future ones.

In addition to the complete image size [as framed], I have also provided a detail shot of the green area. I apologize as the photos are a bit out of focus [I am going to have to work more on my photography skills].

It gave me great pleasure to complete this painting on my birthday, Sept. 27, 2009.

Enjoy, and I hope this finds you and yours well.

Greg

Juried Into "Signature" Status, Boca Raton Museum of Art Artists' Guild, Sep 22, 2009

Greetings All,
I hope and trust this finds you and yours well.

I am pleased and gratified to announce that this past Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2009, I was juried as a "Signature" artist into the Boca Raton Museum's Artists' Guild. The process: artists are required to submit four of their completed works (mine in oil), and a professional artist juror, curator reviews the works, critques, and then approves or rejects the "Signature" status. Once again, I was pleased to be elevated to this status.

Signature members are listed on the Boca Raton Artists' Guild's web site with a "Profile" page. Additionally, Signature members may place their works in the Boca Raton Artists' Guild's gallery located on East Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach, exhibit in selected "Signature" shows, and invited to submit works in prestigious art shows in the Boca Raton-South Florida area.

Above is a photo of the beautiful (exterior and interior) Boca Museum of Art located in Mizner Park, Plaza Real in Boca Raton (Federal Hwy just north of Palmetto Park Blvd.)

In the future, I'll provide a direct link to the "Signature" section of the Boca Raton Museum Artist's Guild's web site.

Be well, Greg

PGA Championship # 15, Painting in Progress-- UNFINISHED, Oil, 24" x 36", About 80% Completed

Hello All,

I hope and trust this finds you and yours well.

I am having fun with and making good progress on my latest golf landscape, "PGA Championship, Number 15," oil, 24" x 36". This painting is based on a series of photos (some displayed below in earlier postings) which I took this past summer, as well as my having personally played this very challenging hole many times in the past.

Please see the "80%" completed painting above together with the photo that I am using as the primary reference.

Given my current schedule, I hope to have this painting completed in about one- two weeks.

Be well and happy golfing (or whatever). Greg

Main Street News, 255 Royal Poinciana Way, Palm Beach: Mr. Chris DeMicco, Manager

Initial Retail Outlet for My Prints, Main Street News, 255 Royal Poinciana, Palm Beach

Hello All,

I hope this finds you and yours well.

I am very pleased to announce that effective today, September 10, 2009, Main Street News, 255 Royal Poinciana, Palm Beach is the initial retail outlet that is carrying my limited, numbered, and signed Giclee prints of selected golf and Florida Landscapes.

The Main Street News store is a well-established store and tradtion on The Island. It carries probably the largest collection of national and international periodicals, newspapers, and specialty books. It also has a beautiful and varied collection of small gifts-- you won't find many of these items anywhere else.

I am especially fond of its special section of golf periodicals and golf novelty items. That is where (in the rear of the store) I have my golf (and a few Florida Landscape) prints displayed. Please see the photos above -- me standing by the prints' display, and a shot from the outside showing the exterior of the really nifty, cool Main Street News store in Palm Beach.

Look for additional selected retail outlets (with a golf following) to be announced in the future. This retail market is just one of among many marketing and distribution resources in the overall marketing program of Greg Sherman Art, LLC.

Be well to you and yours, Greg

Paintings in Progress: "PGA Championship Number 15" and "TPC, Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra, Number 17/16"

Greetings All,
Hope you all are ready for and enjoying the Labor Day weekend. Give thanks for meaningful work, and thoughts and prayers especially for the many millions of fine Americans and families who find themselves unemployed or underemployed in these very difficult times.

I am personally very grateful that my new business venture, Greg Sherman Art, LLC, www.gregshermanart.com, is off to a good start following my "re-grouping" after my years at Cardinal Newman High School.

I am working on several new paintings, continuing to organize my print production logistics, and getting reading for the busy outdoor art show season which for me begins with the 22nd Annual Las Olas Art Fest (October 24- 25, 2009).

Making much progress on these new paintings-- especially "PGA Championship Number 15" and "TPC Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra, Number 17/16". The photos that I am using as the primary references (that I took this past summer) can be seen above. I plan to post "progress" pictures of these paintings soon.

Be well to you and yours. Greg
