With all of the health challenges and events happening to my family this year, I've not had as much time to work on my art. But I have completed 3 pictures, including these 2 drawings and was thrilled when they were accepted into the Westlake-Westshore Arts Council Juried Showthis summer. When I visited the show at a local library, I was absolutely thrilled to see I had won first and second place, a dream come true. This is a photo of them at the exhibit with their ribbons next to them. I especially liked how the blue ribbon emphasized the blue of the little bird, which is a nuthatch.The other drawing is of a cheetah under an acacia tree.
It was great having something good happen and really boosted my spirits.
