I have big-deal news to end 2012 and to start 2013.
To my amazement, I just learned that my painting, "Heartbreak Morning" received enough votes on Katherine Tyrrell's Making a Mark blog to be declared Best Portrayal of a Place 2012!
But wait...there's more. By SEVEN, votes I also received the award titled Best Picture on an Art Blog in 2012! I can't begin to explain all that went into the process of these awards. To learn more, please take a moment to visit Making a Mark by clicking the link in the previous paragraph.
Thank you Katherine Tyrrell for nominating my painting. I also want to thank all who voted for me - especially those special SEVEN!
Being an artist is a solitary occupation, especially now that I no longer teach. Sometimes I just need to connect with others and I do that primarily through this Art Journal blog and Facebook. Thanks to all who read my blog and take a moment to send me a word of support or a 'like' or comment on Facebook. Hearing from you helps make my day. Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteThank you Carol. I have some wonderful winter reference photos of the Arboretum to paint from. I hope I can do them justice. It is cold here today (and damp). Enjoy your weather!
