I'm so very excited and I had to share!! I'm what one would call an "amateur" artist. A local AIDS hospice is having a huge charity auction/benefit thing next month and they were accepting local artists' submissions to be auctioned off. (Artist splits proceeds 50/50.) And guess what? I submitted 2 pieces and they want them both!!!! I'm super-psyched because this is the first time I've ever submitted work to anyone and they want it!!!!! Yay! And, best case scenario, I get some $$$ from it and the hospice does, too. How cool would that be? Of course there's always the possibility the pieces won't sell and I guess that won't be terrible because I'll get my art back.


Okay I'm done - just had to share or I am going to explode!

What a feeling it must be to take an idea/feeling and make it tangible - and then get paid for it!  Wow and congratulations!

Awww, y'all are all so sweet!!! Austin is a great art town, so it's pretty exciting to be a part of it. I don't have any pics yet (I know, bad blubirde!) but I'm going to go over and take some Friday I think and I'll definitely post them. Okay, I say definitely but I'd be pretty nervous to post them... I'm such a dork!

thanks for all the kind words, ladies!!

these two are acrylics but i prefer oils. oils just take too long though. i'm too impatient to wait the week or so for each layer to dry... which is altogether sad but oh well!
