With the six-hour time difference, it seems my comments will always be late. <br />It's okay though, because they're just as sincere and supportive. I'm very happy for you and we'll keep our fingers crossed in the hope that the painting will bring home a prize.<br />I'd say have a great day, but I know your already are!! :)<br />Sincerely,<br />Gary.Gary L.

It is equally dangerous to lull yourself into thinking you are great just because you place in a show." Mary Moquin<br /><br />So many times, we feel "not good enough" when we don't get in - then there is the problem of feeling "better than" when we get in and others do not. We need to keep it in perspective. Even if we get in all the regional shows, it doesn't mean our names are known by thousands of people in the art world - there are very few artists who ever achieve that place in history. I think the best thing is to keep the joy and love of the medium and let the juried shows and award money be icing on a very good cake.RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-4060669375673321342013-06-24T11:01:40.754-04:002013-06-24T11:01:40.754-04:00Rhonda, congrats!!
