Does Barry Van Dusen enter Birds in Art? I like his work very much. Alan Hunt has work in the SWLA show and I imagine he's another BiA artist.
If I cover up the artist's name in each BIA catalog I get and flip through noting just what I like on first glance I can always count on a couple of people: Lars Jonsson, Barry Van Dusen and John Busby, with the caveat that I think last year was John's first year in the show. I always go through many times over and eventually get won over by other art but I like to always start off this way. This year John Busby's was the one that really struck me the most, just because is seemed so fresh.
That's a roundabout way of saying that Barry normally seems to enter and it's always a pleasure to see his stuff. But I didn't see it this year. He may not have entered or may just not have gotten in. It looks like a 100/500 ratio entries to rejects so I'm sure some people who have been in 90% of the shows occasionally don't get in one. I'll have to look up Alan Hunt. But I better go get supper started before my wife tosses me out on my ear when she gets home from work. I'll check on Alan later.
