I received great news (for me) yesterday...all 3 of my entries into the St. Mary's, Ohio Summerfest Art Show were juried in and I was awarded the Wright State University Watercolor Award for my painting "Quintet"(Above.) I always give a sigh of relief when my work is all accepted ... it isn't always...boohoo! The meet-the-artists gala and awards ceremony will be on Sunday, August 9th at 3:00 p.m.

Cindi...welcome to my blog...I am so glad that you discovered it and thanks for your comments. I visited your blog and you have some really lovely work...nice, loose and "watercolorly."
Congratulations!
I love these photos and the idea of an open studio!
I saw your self portrait on Maury's project page and am visiting your blog for the first time and enjoying you and your paintings. Your technique for painting glass in the above piece is wonderful. Congratulations.
Gail...welcome to my blog and I hope you find it enjoyable and informative. As far as painting the glass is concerned...I haven't painted glass too much so this was definitely a learning process for me. I found that I have to take it a little area at a time and to paint exactly what I see. It was time consuming but worth it.
Wonderful Barbara...this is really a masterpiece.....!!!
Thanks Aarti, and thanks for visiting my blog.
