Cranbrook artist, Joseph Cross, received some good news regarding his second painting in the series on Mt. Assiniboine Provincial Park. “Mt. Assiniboine Reflection” was submitted to International Artist Magazine Challenge #63 ‘Seascapes, Rivers & Lakes’ Competition. He received an e-mail from the publisher of the magazine saying “Congratulations!” The magazine issue #79 June/July features this painting and a write-up on Joseph.
International Artist magazine is the premier magazine for artists, galleries and agents around the world. Joseph has been featured in International Artist magazine several times:
- April 2001 “Treasures at Turquoise Bay” placed 2nd in their Seascape competition;
- April/May 2002 as one of four artists in “Master Painters of the World: Canada Showcase”;
- 2002 Pastel Artist International Magazine issue #13 featured a seven-page article on his work; and
- April/May 2005 issue of International Artist Magazine featured an eight-page article on Joseph’s work
