Biehle's paintings were regularly selected for the May Show, where they frequently earned prizes, one of which was presented in the 1920's by the noted artist George Bellows. His continual contribution to the May Show was recognized when the Cleveland Museum of Art granted him an Emeritus Non-Jury Entrant status, after participating in twenty five shows, he enjoyed the privilege of exhibition without the element of competition.
