Alright, I get to indulge today because tomorrow is my birthday and two really nice things happened to me this week regarding painting. First I got a call that my painting "Carolina Shore", that I have donated to the American Heart Association Art & Wine Gala in May, was selected as one of the ten finalists for the American Artist Magazine 2008 Cover Competition. It will be featured in the September issue (and for my age, being Miss September is very cool!).The painting "Into the Mist" which is at The Greenhouse Gallery for the Salon International 2008, was selected by George Hallmark for "Honorable Mention of Artistic Excellence".
Anyone who says 'it's not worth entering contests" is missing out on an opportunity to show your work in a grand scale, and with other great artists. If you don't enter - you've already admitted defeat (I have a brave friend who is saving her rejection letters to use in a painting someday!)- I am truly honored to have my work hang next to the big guys!
