This week I got the news that Rogue Heron has been accepted into the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies 37th Annual Exhibit 2012. 100 paintings were selected from 1034 submitted with 479 artists participating. Eleven states are represented in this organization.
I've got to say that I feel pretty happy to have a painting accepted in such a steep competition. I also have to say to my friends who didn't get in that, as we all know from experience, it's only one juror's opinion.
The hosting state this year is Nevada, so I'll have to think about traveling to Las Vegas in April to see the show.

Congratulations again, Margaret. Petie
Congratulations, Margaret. Nice little Christmas gift from the art gods. But when I remember how many times you reworked this painting...it was not a gift at all, rather a reward for your hard work and persistence, you deserve it.

CONGRATULATIONS!! What a wonderful thing. Glad you got into the show. I did not submit (just in case you're wondering).
