| "Koi Ripples" won Best of Show |
I have an announcement! Two of my paintings won awards in the Sierra Pastel Society's Winter Show!
http://www.sierrapastelsociety.net/ The judge was Craig Mitchell, a very distinguished and accomplished artist
http://www.cgmitchell.com/, whose work I admire. I am sooooo flattered and humbled at the same time!

| "Winter Meditation" won Award of Excellence in the Signature Status division |
Since I live quite a ways from the show location (Placerville, California), my friend, Kathy, sent me a clipping from the local paper in which some of the paintings (Koi Ripples included) were printed in color. This is the first time I've had a painting printed in a newspaper!
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the members of Sierra Pastel Society who do all the work putting on their shows. It is because of these hard-working, "can-do" folks that make these shows happen for us all. I only wish I lived close enough to help.

Congratulations on the awards!! I'm so happy to hear this good news and I'm so proud of you!
I so love the colors in the koi painting. Japanese artists would often use only red and white(sometimes black) in painting them, which I personally don't prefer. The koi in fact are blessed with rich colors. The ripples are lovely too. I sometimes forget time watching them swim elegantly in ponds.
"Winter Meditation" is really fascinating. I miss winter mountains.
Congratulations, MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!!
Those fishes are one of my favourite paintings!

Thank you my friends! You have all been so encouraging throughout my "journey" in painting. Yes, Liz, I will ALWAYS talk to you. Better yet, I will always listen to you and your advice too!
