Going for an award!

I received an invite to send in my work again this year to a show in Arkansas. This is the same show that I tried to get into last year and was declined. Either way - I am going to try again! I looked up the juror and his name is Richard Stephens . He is a watercolorist who has been painting long before my birth. He is pretty good. Anyways.. Last year, I waited till the last min. to enter and I think that may have been a factor. So I am going to try again this year. Not sure yet which paintings I will submit. I think I will look more into his work and see if I have anything that he might like. I am not a watercolorist so that makes it a little bit of a challenge. I would like an award to put under my artistic belt. I have passed the point where I want to go out and sale them and make millions. I just want to win some awards. So - Best in show gets 1000! Runner up gets 500. And then it goes down. But to be honest with you.. I would LOVE to get best in show.. but I would s...

Okay. She is done. What can we call her? She needs an old fashioned name I am thinking. What do you think?? And I have to say that I think I am much more pleased with the end result than I previously believed I would be. Well.. there she is.. All done. I signed it up the right hand along the edge near her shoulder. Just do not have it in this picture. I am thinking I may not really work on one that looks the same. This one will do. I had fun. Now I just need to fix it. :) NEXT - For a tip on how to get a really annoying song that is stuck in your head, out.. go to my MANIA link above. Also I am going to repost all the drawings that I did in here ... into my progress Link. Talk to you a bit later! After I posted this I went back and added just a touch of eyebrow to her eye.. It looks better :)

Stop looking around!

There are a few things I still need to do with her. She is not done yet but here is a little update. I need to work on my painting a bit more. I was kinda feeling a little insecure .. well I am still... about how to go about painting it and I started to look around at others and their paintings. When I saw how good and easy it seemed to come for them I began to get even more insecure! I keep trying to remember that I just need to stop looking around. I need to keep steady the course and do what I need to do. Practice. So I was thinking about getting some canvas paper - cutting out smaller sizes and just busting out these little "one item" paintings. Just so I can get more practice. Something I may start in the morning. Right now its late and I am sleepy. I did some Tia Chi this morning which I had no business doing because my legs hurt so bad from playing with the Kinect yesterday with the kids! I am old! Anyway.. See you all in the morning! Hope you all had a gre...
