I have received my acceptance email from the Oklahoma Art Guild for the Reining in the Arts show and sale! I don't know how many pieces were actually entered in this, a juried exhibition of Oklahoma art, but 175 were chosen and of those 175 only 20 were chosen to be sold at the live auction...with mine being one of those 20!! I feel so blessed and honored to have my painting chosen, it will display and go on the auction block among some pieces done by some Very Accomplished Oklahoma artists!

I guess I finally have something I can put on my Art Resume!!
This painting is beautiful, Lisa! I am so happy for you and proud of you!!
ReplyDeleteThanx for stopping at my blog. Oh, I used to paint and draw all thru grade and high school...miss it! Your work is lovely and maybe I'll get inspired again. I just love art of all kinds. Right now I'm redecorating the bedrooms in our house, which let's me work my creative muscles.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, it is quite an honor to be selected for the auction.
