Last Saturday was the delivery date for registered admissions to the spring show. I have several good works I might have entered but the item needs to be for sale. Even though this is my daughter and grand daughter, I painted it as a general mother and baby with the title, ’Quiet Moment’. During delivery, I observed that there was a large amount of entries. Also, the work keeps getting better and better. With this much competition, I figured an award would not be in the future at least for this show. I was truly surprised to get a call informing me of an award. In this type of circumstance the artist can truly appreciate the challenge a juror faces when making selections and we can also really value the honor of receiving any award. Scroll back till you see the painting. I’m sorry I don’t have a final photo. I was interrupted as I got ready to take a good photo. I was distracted and completely forgot. I will post it after the show.

I am working on two large paintings but also have plans in the works for several more. Our class has taken on a new student so Tuesdays are never boring. I have been perfecting a very special project for three years. I thought I would be revealing it about now. Unfortunately I have come up against some complications. These events are very frustrating because the difficulties seem unnecessary. I will try to tell you about it soon.
shalom, Diana
