Do you remember seeing this tree? It was first introduced in January, 2008, when I sent it to the Texas Watercolor Society. It was selected to be in the exhibition by the juror, Jeanne Dobie. It was a thrill to have an artist I admire select one of my paintings. I showed "Tree Study" on another post in March when I was notified that the painting had won a bronze medal and an impressive check for "Best Transparent Painting" in the Texas Watercolor Society exhibition.
On June 12th when I attended the reception for the Fountain City Art Center's Open Show I was surprised and delighted to see a "Best of Show" ribbon on the "Tree Study" painting.
Before The TWS show and the FCAC show I had entered "Tree Study" in another competition. It was the first time out for a very new painting. It was rejected. I accepted the juror's opinion, but decided to send the painting out into the art world for other reactions. I am so glad I did!
