I entered my art in the Hillsborough County Fair.
The Category was Professional Watercolor and also a pencil piece .
It opens tomorrow and the judging was today.
I'm so pleased to say that I've won 2 First Place Awards, one for Watercolor, Batter Up! A first place for pencil/ graphite, 'We're Home' in the Category called Graphics, and a second place for 'Hummer on a Coneflower'.. also watercolor.
Yes, it's very encouraging . BJ
