Dear Rhonda - your art is never a loser. Those caramel apples look good enough to eat. Your sweetie did a wonderful job photographing all the winning pieces. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Rhonda,
No offense meant for the judge, but I believe your painting, "Caramel Apples", is most definitely award worthy.
Jerry did an excellent job with the photos, too. No easy task making the paintings look so good!
You'll have your day, my Dear, so hang-in there and keep painting what you love, the way you see it.
Great job by you both.
Sincerely,
Gary.
What a beautiful show it must have been, so many talented people! Mrs A
I am so glad to see that Deb Ward's painting won, but sorry that none of yours did. That caramel apple one was especially deserving of a prize!
Oh well, at least you entered shows, this is something I have not done for over two years now.
Oh my goodness! Your paintings are winners!
Hi Rhonda, very impressive work from the GCWS! And even though you didn't win anything, don't despair. Both pieces are really good!
Oh my but those caramel apples look so good!
Debbie, I know that - I just always hear my granddaughter Alaina's voice in my head when one day she was talking about competing with her older sister and she said, "But I'm a LOSER!!" and she put a bit L up on her forehead to emphasize that - made me laugh :) Now whenever I say anything is a LOSER, I see and hear that and laugh. One person's opinion for the winners in every show - you can't get worried about it at all, win or lose.
Gary, thanks so much :) My day will come because I am still working and striving and trying to get better every day - and find my voice in my paintings.
Mrs. A., thanks - it is a good show!
Susan, sometimes one just gets tired of it - but this was local and just our watercolor group - no pressure except to have 2 paintings to show and mine were both small.
Wendyytb, thanks so much!
Thanks so much, Carol and Sherry :) Everyone commented on how much they liked the caramel apples so maybe I have something good there.
