Looking back….looking ahead, 2025 edition
Whew…2024 blew right on past me, then, not to be outdone, 2025 promptly slapped the snot out of me out of the chute. I was in (let me count) thirteen shows last year, including three pieces at three different venues as part of the Dallas ART214 Biennial Exhibition(s). Plus I took Best of Show at the CCAN 2024 National Juried Competition in Abilene, TX –…

Summer 2023 updates
It’s been a hot summer and I haven’t gotten around to posting any updates, so just to catch you up…. I was awarded a prize at the 93rd Annual San Antonio Art League Museum Show (April 2 – June 3, 2023)!

Art Room Small Works Show, Friday Nov. 4, 2022
I love Small Works shows (and enter them whenever I can). The holiday season will usually see a number of them and it’s a great time to pick up some little – usually very affordable – pieces. If you’ve been following me on Facebook or Instagram, you’ve seen lots of my cat-related art. Now’s your chance to add one to your collection! I’ve got three…
Fall 2022 art happenings
I’m in a few more shows this fall – very exciting! Fort Worth Biennial 2022 at Arts Fort Worth The outbreak of Covid put the kibosh on the previous Biennial. Of the three pieces I entered for this year’s Fort Worth Biennial, I was especially happy the juror, Lilia Kudili, chose “Programming Man.” It’s a big painting and has almost everyone of my favorite things…

Looking back at 2019
2019 was pretty much a breakout year for me in several ways. For starters, a new website (https://www.rontaylorcrouch.com), urged on me by my millenial sons, who told me pointblank, “Nobody knows or cares who ‘Ralph Art’ is – use your real name.” They also said I talked too much on the Ralphart.com website. “Just show your art and don’t ramble on.” So if you want…
