I’ve Always Wanted…
Wouldn’t it be fun to one of your paintings on the cover of an exhibition catalog? It has been one of my secret desires to have a painting selected for use on a show catalog cover or post card. Well, it has happened! I am so excited and honored.
To Be On the Catalog Cover
The California Watercolor Association (CWA) will use my painting “Just Sayin’…V8b” as their cover art for the upcoming 45th Annual National Exhibition at the Harrington Gallery Firehouse Arts Center in Pleasanton, CA.
Ruth, my contact with the California Watercolor Association was wondering what the “V8b” meant. When I told her it was my numbering system for multiple paintings in a series; kinda dull don’t you think?
Would Your Rather Have A…?
You can imagine, that “V8b” conjured up images of a certain beverage, perhaps even a certain beverage spiked! Does that make the title “Just Sayin’…V8B” more interesting? Or amusing?
Feeling Honored!
Thank you Ruth and the California Watercolor Association for selecting my painting. I am honored! I feel like I have already earned two awards – one for getting into the show; two for being on the cover!
This is just so excellent and so well deserved. Congrats! I wish now that I’d known about the show and entered just so I’d get the catalog!! Gonna havta do this two years in a row, Margaret!
Thank you Sandra for the comment! I found out about the CWA entry just a couple of days before the deadline. I’m so happy that I jumped at the chance! Too-fers are good!
big Congrats Peggy! This is a huge honor and you deserve it!
Thank you Ruth for the compliment! It seems I’m having a good year; its thrilling and humbling! There are so many fine artists. Again, thanks!
