The 'Eye of the Horse took 4th place', and
'Sophisticate' won the Business Owners Choice and a cash award. The Show and Festival runs until March 11th.. then I get to take them home !
Although I've won awards from Art Guilds, this was the first time I'd ever entered a juried show. It only took me about 50 years . Who knew!?
The competition was tough, beautiful watercolors, oils, very few pencil/graphite. I'm truly grateful for these I finally have ribbons to hang in my studio. And I thank all of you who encouraged me to do it.. a special thank you to Tina . BJ
Congratulations, Barbra Joan. That's fantastic news! Well done, you! Now go out and celebrate. Juried shows and competitions are the toughest, and the most nerve-wracking, I agree. Both of these pieces are beauties, too, and deserved to win awards and ribbons. That's why it feels even more amazing when you win. Again, congratulations and fair play to you!
