Well I guess it's time to come out of hibernation now that the weather is starting to warm up and really kick into gear with the painting! (I know I should have been painting more, not less, but you know how it goes :P)
But I haven't been completely lazy, I have been painting a bit. And I'm happy to announce that my painting above came in third place in the Village Fine Arts Association's Poetry Art Night. The poem (written by me:) that accompanied the painting also won third place, so I am pleased and honored.
The show will be up at the Suzanne Haskew Arts Center (SHAC) for a month, then it will travel to the Milford Township Library for another month. The reception is this Saturday, March 11 at the SHAC starting at 6 pm. There will be food, drinks, art and poetry readings... always a fun night! (P.S. you will have to come to the SHAC to read the poem!)
Welcome back and congratulations on your award, Candace! Well deserved!
ReplyDeleteI would love to attend the reception, but would have a 36 hour drive (living in Eugene, OR now. Our workshop instructor lives here, too - somewhere...) Anyhow, hope you take some photos & post them on your blog. Hope you post the poem later, too.
Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful artwork!!
Thank you so much Chris! Yeah, I wouldn't expect you to come all the way from OR :) But I appreciate all of your nice comments. I will try to get some picks at the reception to post.
DeleteHi Candace, what a beautiful and intriguing painting! Boy I would love to go to the reception, but I'll be on my yearly trip with my daughter....but I will get over to see the painting at some point! Glad to see you painting-the world is a better place when your artwork is in it:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Laurie, you are so kind. Enjoy your trip - hope you are having a marvelous time :)
