The Kiss won Fourth prize!


I'm a little late in posting this, only because I was waiting to get the photo that was taken when I won the award... On Memorial Day weekend, I won Fourth Place in Oil/Acrylic at the Washington Square Outdoor Art Exhibit for The Kiss! I'm always a bundle of nerves when I  go to pick up my artwork, and it was such an unbelievably wonderful feeling to know I won a prize! 

I'm usually really selective about what pictures I post online, (or I should say, really self-conscious) and this is no different, not fond of the messy hair, baggy pants, strange "did you get the photo yet? this thing is heavy" smile, etc. but I'm still so excited about the prize that I thought, what they heck, I'll just post the photo :)

Thanks so everyone who came to the show! I'll be there again on Labor Day weekend, and this Sunday I'll be at the Bleecker Street Fair if anyone is in the area!

How wonderful for you, it must feel so empowering! I've heard non-bloggers criticize this act for serving no purpose. Your post alone validates everything we do - you're sharing yourself and your accomplishments. Someone tell me what's wrong with that?? Good girl!

I am beyond EXCITED that I found this blog! I was in NYC in the summer of 2009 and while walking on the Bleecker Street market I happened to stumble upon a tent with a bunch of your paintings. I probably should not have taken a picture, but I'm glad I did, as that allowed me to finally track you online (unfortunately for me, I didn't have the name of the artist, so it took some effort to find "the Kiss"!). I LOVE that painting! Love it, love it! I wish I had had a job back then because I would have definitely have bought it to show proudly at our home! It's one of the best paintings I've seen! :) Congrats on the prize!

P.s. I don't suppose you're still selling it? :)
