I was elated to learn recently that I had been awarded "Best of Show" at the juried Fall Show of the Riverside Arts Center at Wapakoneta, Ohio. I was also elated to learn that the award winning painting was one of my beloved vintage truck paintings - those who know me, know I adore doing paintings of vintage trucks! This one was the most recent. Ya-hoo!

Ya-hoo indeed, Barb! This is super...but not surprising! This painting glows and is absolutely perfect in every way!
Congratulations! It is such a lovely painting and made even more special because of the joy you got from creating it! Well done!
Congratulations, Barb! This comes as no surprise to me because your work has always been so beautiful. And you know how much I love your vintage vehicle paintings! (I'm AutumnLeaves of old, by the way.)
Oh Barb! No big surprise here, especially with this particular painting. As usual, all of your vintage trucks are amazing, but the way you handled that grass under and in front of the truck continues to amaze me.
Congratulations, well-deserved.
Congratulations, Barb!!!

Sherry - I was wondering who "conservativelybohemian" was - the puzzle is solved! Thanks for sticking with me and my blog - your comments are always appreciated!
Susan...I hope things are going well with you and your loved ones -I have been remiss in keeping up my contacts since I was ill, but I am feeling better and will try to communicate better.
Thanks for your comments on the truck - I spent a lot of time on those grasses in front of the truck - it is nice to know that others appreciate and are aware of that effort! Only another artist can know this! :)
