I was just awarded Signature Membership in the National Oil and Acrylic Painters of America Society. They define this as:
The Signature Artists' Guild is an elite sector of the Society Artist members whose work is recognized for consistent excellence.
I don't know how "elite" it is but I've been accepted in their show 3 years in a row which qualifies me for membership

Juror's Choice Award - Breckenridge Fine Art show


Yippee! I found out today that I have been awarded the Jurors Choice award at the 18th Annual Juried Competition & Show at the Breckenridge Fine Art Center. I had 2 paintings in the show and the award was for my still life "I've Just got to be a Cowgirl"

This painting has cowgirls, a cowboy and a horse (ok, its a mule) . What more could you want in a western painting?

Blocked by AOL

Open letter to friends family and customers:
I recently sent out my newsletters to my customers, friends and business associates as I've done for quite some time. Unfortunately, as an AOL customer, you didn't receive the newsletter. AOL has blocked me from sending emails to their members.

If you have an alternate non-AOL address please send it to me. Otherwise, please stay in touch through my blog. I'm sorry that I will no longer be able to have private communications with you through your AOL accounts. So far I can still receive AOL emails. I am just unable to respond to you
