VACATION'S OVER!

A STRANGER AMONG US

I took a little vacation from blogging but not from working!  I am getting  ready to share a wonderful teaching experience with Anne Bagby in a few weeks and then I am off to the Florida Watercolor Society conference where I will be giving a workshop, doing a demo and some one on one critiques.  There will be constant activity and events including their annual exhibit,  a trade show, a paint around and a banquet.  I have never been to this type of  conference and it will be exhilarating.  I can't wait!

This painting needs to be framed and shipped before I leave.   It was accepted into the 2014 National Watercolor Society National show.  As ever, I am very excited to be included this year.  With so many excellent artists entering, it is a miracle to be excepted.  It is hard to say what will make the cut.  I was disappointed that I didn't get into the San Diego WCS International show.  All we can do is create a lot of work, set aside those pieces that feel successful  and be willing to take a chance, keeping our fingers crossed. I think I should be doing more of this formatting.  It is not an original concept but creates an interesting dynamic between the nine faces.  

In my next post, I will share some questions to consider when evaluating your painting.  It is helpful as a way to take another look at your work after you have stared at it so long you can no longer be objective.

Hi Myrna,

I was at a workshop at Anne Bagby's studio earlier this year and what a treat you're in for. I was there for Lynne Perella's workshop. What a great space and what delightful people Lynne and Anne both are. Wish I could join you!

Congratulations Myrna and I do hope you have a wonderful time in Florida.

I saw your name yesterday on the NWS site and was wondering what you submitted. Looking at it, I do admire your painting, style, design and artistic expression!
