Just got home from an awesome evening of good wine, good food and great friends. I came home with a Third place ribbon for my “Unconditional Surrender” piece as the ‘People’s Choice Award’ at the Progress Energy Art Gallery. It was their 5th annual artist member’s exhibit. A show for all the artists to show off their individual works and specialties. There were lots of wonderful entries and I was honored to be chosen as one of the only top three awards given. It was a really fun and inspiring evening – wonderful people. I’m feeling on top of the world 🙂
HOPEFULLY – I’ll start keeping up with my blog more. Things have been very busy with my photography lately and I don’t seem to have time to fit everything in. I’m loving every minute of it!
I had an opportunity a couple weeks ago to be involved in a charity auction for abused and neglected animals. I was contacted and asked if I would donate a piece of my artwork to the Suncoast Animal League to help these little guys out. It was wonderful seeing so many artists come together to help out a great cause. The auction was a great success and a lot of animals will now be able to get the help and treatment they need. It was a wonderful night and I hope to be able to help out a lot more.
WOW!!!! CONGRATULATIONS my friend!!!!!!!!!
