. . . AND MORE SHOWS

Ying Yang Mums (Watercolor)
Yikes . . . they keep on coming!

In a previous post I mentioned that my painting "Ying Yang Mums" got into the NWS Annual show.  Since then I've learned that it will be a part of the traveling show which will tour the country for a year following the exhibit.  AND - my friend Chris Beck let me know that they used my image on their postcard!

Yesterday I learned that my painting "Flights of Fancy" is accepted into the Georgia Juried Member's show.

Flights of Fancy (Watercolor)
Something bizarre must be happening to the Universe - maybe the Mayan legend is true - the world really is coming to an end!

Unfortunately, I didn't have any pieces to send to NWS for signature review (all the "good ones" were out in shows).  But who cares, I'm happy and thrilled to be in that show, as well as the others.  And, in the scheme of things, that's not really a bad "problem" to have.

You're on a roll, stick with it! The Ying Yang Mums is a stunner, no wonder it was picked.

I'm here painting furiously for shows and scrambling to put pieces in for art bank submission. Its the nutty season it seems.

Super congratulations to you, Deb, on all this success. The world is simply coming to its senses:-)
I had never seen "Flights of Fancy" before I believe - It is absolutely wonderful!

Vicki Greene said...

Congratulations! I am very happy for you and the honors are well deserved.
