ARTIST MAGAZINE - JULY/AUGUST 2015

This month I have received two accolades that I'm very excited about.  One is for a watercolor painting, the other for an acrylic painting!

First up - I won the watercolor category in the Artist Magazine All Media Competition!

THE ARTIST'S MAGAZINE - 31st Annual Art Competition - FINALIST!

A while back I received an email telling me that two of the paintings I entered into the Artist's Magazine 31st Annual Art competition had been awarded Finalist!

Gotta tell you - 2 out of 6,507 entries - yep, I'm pretty happy about that.

You will find my name listed on page 53 of the December issue - Still Life/Interior Category.

And when I saw who some of the other finalists in my category were, whose names are familiar to me  - Cecile Baird, Laurie Goldstein-Warren, Chris Krupinski, Jeffrey Larson, Jacob Pfeiffer, Carrie Waller - then I REALLY was happy!  Wow, at least I'm in very good company.

I entered 4 into the competition, and the paintings accepted were my Yin Yang Mums and Oriental Roses.

THE ARTIST'S MAGAZINE COMPETITION

Just found out that two of my paintings - Yin Yang Mums (watercolor) and Oriental Roses (fluid acrylic) have been accepted into The Artist's Magazine 31st Annual Art Competition as finalists in the Still Life/Interior category.

There were 7,500 competition entries - and they chose TWO of mine!  WOW!!!

So, my name will appear in the list of finalists in the December 2014 issue - no picture, though, since I didn't win an award - but still - kinda cool.  Especially when you consider how many paintings were entered.

YYM appears at the top of my blog - and you are probably tired of seeing it!  Here is Oriental Roses - which you've seen before!

Gotta say - I’m excited to show you my page for the Watermedia Showcase winners in the April 2014 Watercolor Artist Magazine. 

This is also the painting that was accepted into the 2012 NWS show and it still tops my blog header!
