Waiting on The Return of Paradise in the Slideluck

I'm pleased that this musical slideshow featuring 40 of my paintings was selected
to be part of this very popular and very unique New York art show.
I was the only painter selected ted to participate inr this highly competitive

painter, me!) were chosen to participate in this event by creating short slideshow
presentations of their themed work. . Over 600 people attended this event, and I was
extremely pleased with th enthusiastic response my work received from the audience.Many of previous Slideluck Flash slideshows and event photos are
