I'm a member of the Valley Watercolor Society (a Los Angeles area watercolor group).
Several months ago they had a jurying into the Society and I submitted two paintings to be juried in. I was accepted!! Never thought I would be as I love everyone else's work and usually am not too thrilled with my own. A stereotypical attitude I think.
Valley Watercolor Society then announced a show "H2O in 2010" and called for entries. I submitted my two framed matted plexiglassed paintings (with hanging wires no more than 2" from the top of the frame) and whoopee!!! I was accepted. Two Paintings!!
"H2O in 2010" starts this Wednesday, the 24th of February at the Viva Gallery http://www.vivaartcenter.org/
The Reception (wine and cheese, ooh la la) is Sunday the 28th from 2-4 p.m. I hope, if you're free, and live in the area, you'll come see some really fine work. 
"Past Their Prime"
"Christmas Meadow - Utah"
Congratulations Jill!
ReplyDeleteI find we do better listening to other people voices rather than the critical one in our heads!
Your work is beautiful!
Good for you! Jill, and while you were putting together Karin's book, too. What a month you've had!
ReplyDeleteEarthula, you have only ONE critical voice in your head??
Hi Jill. Congratulations on being juried into the watercolor society and then 2 pieces into the show! YOU ROCK! I suppose you should have several glasses of "attitude adjustment" at the show reception and begin liking your work! :-) You're right, we're usually our own harshest critic! Just ignore yourself and you'll be fine. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the "Karin Book". I think she liked it! :-)
