Bragging Rights

O.K.., I have to tell the world because I am one happy camper. I got a phone call the other day saying I had won an award at a show. They wouldn't tell me which one, but I instantly thought it was my "Jazz Lady". Well, I missed going to the Father/DAughter White Sox game with my usually absent husband and daughter and grandaughter , thinking"oh it'll probably be 5th place. So, I go and to my shock.....I won Best of Show!!!! I am a happy camper. Not sure anyone reads this blog...but I am getting it out.

I'll tell you....I totally didn't see that coming at all! I started that painting and thought it would never turn out. So I told myself....o.k., if it's not going to turn out...just have fun with it and go with the flow. And whoala!

There were paintings there that I would have thought would have taken Best of Show that didn't..and I am always perplexed...

I went to a seminar in Elk Grove, Illionois with the Xanadu Gallery from Scottsdale, Arizona. The gentleman spoke about a lot of very interesting points. One comment stuck in my head. The painting that you don't like that you think won't sell will be the one someone loves!

Well, enough of this. gotta go and just be happy...
