Well, tomorrow is the big day! I will take three paintings down to the St. Augustine Art Association for the Nature and Wildlife show! I am very excited about it and certainly hope to win something! There are 7-8 prizes being awarded with a total of $5000 in prize money. The three paintings I am entering are below. Two of these you have seen and the third I painted this week. It is a seascape of a boat coming to shore in a storm.
The judging will take place on Monday, I think, and I will let you know for sure if I win anything. The competition is very stiff, so I'm just not sure. But one can always hope, right?
Oh, and I sold another painting! It is one I don't think I had on the gallery. It was a fun little painting of roses growing up into the trees. This is a rose bush that has been around for many years and has actually covered a tree in Elkton, FL. It is an old heritage rose, sorry I forgot the name, but it is a single white rose. It only blooms a couple weeks a year, but when it is in bloom, it is spectacular!! I have posted the picture on the gallery.
