We artists who enter juried and non-juried shows have to deal with some rejections and keep on going. Art, after all, is a subjective thing. One juror may love your work, and another doesn't select it. It is all part of the game. So, this year, after several "denials" into juried shows I entered, the same paintings won awards in another show!
I am honored to share with you that my paintings "Flick of the Tail" and "The Pond" both won awards in the Sierra Pastel Society Spring Membership Show this month! I was entered in the Signature Category and both one an Award of Excellence ribbon and award money.
This was a wonderful and beautiful show, all beautiful paintings and strong competition! We have some very talented artists in the Sierra Pastel Society!
Woo-hoo! :D
