The postcards and newsletter reminder for the upcoming GCWS show came out. I am so thrilled that my painting, AMI Morning Leaves (which won first place last year) is on the front of the postcard and in the newsletter. These little successes make me want to continue whenever I get down or wonder why I keep painting.
There are several entry forms on my desk right now for juried shows - and for the 2017 GCWS show. So far, I haven't been able to summons the energy to get it together and some are due this month. It's now or never this year...

Enjoy the show, Rhonda! You're always shining!! Best wishes, Sadami
Awesome work!
Oh Rhonda this is certainly an honor you so deserve. This is an amazing work friend. Hope you have a delightful day.
hopefully you get something done for the shows to enter :)
You are too kind, Sadami :) Thank you!
JD, thanks, I've enjoyed your work on Facebook so much, whether I comment or not :)
Debbie, thanks. I was thrilled to win first place and to sell this one to a nice couple who, I hope, love it on their wall :)
Jennifer Rose, thanks. I have plenty of paintings to choose from but just am procrastinating so badly :( Some issues coming up at home, too - health issues with family causing some stress that's keeping me on edge and hard to paint that way - but no excuse, I have paintings done, just need to choose!
Well, those jurors certainly had good taste, Rhonda! Your painting is outstanding!
And we can all relate to those types of stresses. You just have different priorities right now. Hopefully, you will get something together for the 2017 GCWS deadline. If not, next year & maybe you'll find something unexpected to enter later this year...
