International Association of Pastel Societies Juried Show

On Friday before leaving for a two week vacation in Hawaii I received a very exciting e-mail. For the first time as an artist I had submitted an entry to a national level pastel show.....the International Association of Pastel Societies juried show to be hosted by the City of Brea Gallery in Brea, CA. The e-mail I received on Friday was congratulating me for being juried into the show!!! I was very excited.....to say the very least! The piece I entered was "Late Night Snack"....the second piece I painted for the Art Challenge using the glass goblet. Just goes to show you....stretching yourself to paint something you would not have chosen to paint on your own has definite benefits!! I cannot include a picture here of the piece as I do not have my computer with me with the photos of my art work.....but you can see it in the blog entry "Art Challenge Part Two" posted on October 30th.
