I’ve been basking in the glow of a recent success and mentioned wanting to talk about it in my last post (Sometimes I Do Not…Get Into Juried Art Shows). I am honored to say that one of my paintings was accepted in to a major juried art show, the Northwest Watercolor Society’s 74th Annual International Open Exhibition. Getting in to the Open Exhibition has been a goal of mine for the past 11 years. Success is sweet. I’m thinking about times when things don’t go my way. For example, sometimes I don’t get into juried art shows. I rarely talk about it because it feels like a rejection and calls for a private moment. I find it easier to talk about the times I do get in. Success makes me feel good; not succeeding makes me think about all sorts of things. Hello! Welcome to my new home for my “Margaret (Peggy) Stermer-Cox Art Blog”.New Painting in “Just Sayin’…” Series: “Hang Up & Pet Me”
Just Sayin’… Finished New Painting
I have finished my fourth painting in my “Just Sayin’…” series. The series is inspired by our cell phone culture. In this particular version, a person is talking on the cell phone while her kitty waits patiently close by. Naturally, the kitty wishes the person would hang up the phone and pet her. I am amused and inspired by cats watching people talking on phones. Its as if the cat wants to join in on the conversation, and often they do.
Success! Juried Art Show*
