Yesterday was the opening reception and award ceremony for the Grand Prairie Arts Council Art Show and Sale. I had two of my drawings in the show. When I walked into the Uptown Gallery and saw the amazing art on display, I felt completely out of my league. I was wondering how my work had been juried into the show. There were 54 artists entered and approximately 120 works of art on display. The work was divided into 8 categories. My drawings were in the Drawing category which included pastel, ink, graphite and colored pencil. My "Engine 2" won 3rd Place!

Whoo-hoo! You go girl! Congratulations! Sending a hug across cyberspace.
We are SO PROUD of you! We see an amazing talent in you, and love knowing that others can see and appreciate your work.
Well, I"M not surprised at all that you won a ribbon -- your talent is amazing, and this piece is beautiful. I do know that feeling you described of walking into a show and feeling overwhelmed by the other art. A dear friend of mine would say, "Pull up your socks and believe that you belong there -- because the people who count think that you DO belong there." And obviously, you did. Fabulous! Congratulations!
