An Award Winner
Just received word that my painting
"Waiting for Sushi"
received an Honorable Mention in this year's
Oil Pastel Society members' show!
That makes 2 years in a row and I'm going up against a lot of professional artists. So it's a pretty big deal.
That news makes up for not getting into the Atlanta mixed-media show that I submitted to. They only chose 91 pieces out of 546 that were submitted. So by not getting in, I was probably in some very good company!
But then judging art is so subjective. It is very dependant on the styling and tastes of the show's judge. Many artist who submit to juried shows say that what gets turned down by one judge at one show can win an award at another.
And "Waiting for Sushi" did just that!
