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.
