A Painters Journey

It's been a year and 10 months since I last posted anything on my blog. Lately I've been told that blogging, sending a newsletter and posting several times a week on Facebook are essential for an artist in this new world of social media. It's not that I don't like to communicate, it's just that the way we do it now is SO different. And I'd rather paint or teach where I can communicate in person.

But a lot has happened since I last posted during a very hot Plein Air Easton in 2012! The following year I won a Third Place in Plein Air Richmond, followed the next month by Second Place in Plein Air Easton! And it was just as hot as the year before. So lucky me, I didn't have to apply this year because of that award. It's a good thing because lots of my friends, precious award winners and all very good artists did NOT get in this year. And all I can say is remember, it is only one person's opinion!! You are still a great artist and you will get into other competitions. So sit back this year and enjoy the air-conditioning....you deserve it.
