I am so grateful that I was able to be part of the world's greatest art exhibition and prize exhibition. I was able to compete against artists from all over the world. And it was a fabulous experience. I learned so much. Next year will be different.
One complaint I heard vicariously from a fellow artist was that if you are "just" a conventional artist i.e. painter, sculptor, line artist you get no notoriety. It seems like the lady that recreates "Starry Night" out of dryer lint, or the woman who recreates Marilyn Monroe's face out of broken combs gets all the publicity. Yes, that is a valid point. It does seem that way. But I was so gratified today to learn that the "City Band" and the "Elephants" both made the top ten. They are both wonderful. I was also gratified to see that the luminere exhibit Friday night made the top ten also. That was truly a moment. I will tell my great grandchildren about that.
I will not live long enough to have great-grandchildren, but if I did, I would tell them about Friday night.
