Now that the Pastel Journal's April 2013 issue is out on news stands, I can announce that my painting of chickadees entitled "Two's Company" won an Honorable Mention Award in the 14th Annual Pastel 100 Competition.  I was pleasantly surprised and quite honored to have my piece selected amongst over 3000 entries from around the globe and claim a spot amongst the top 100 paintings!

If you have a chance to purchase/view a copy of the Pastel Journal, you will not be disappointed!

Pastel Journal Award



You can imagine my surprise when, a few weeks ago, I received an email from the editor of The Pastel Journal informing me that my pastel painting had won an Honorable Mention in the 14th Annual Pastel 100 Competition (animal/wildlife category). An image of my winning painting is slated to appear in the April 2013 issue!!

I cannot reveal just yet which painting made the cut so you will have to wait until the publication comes out next spring.

This is my first time entering the show and I was very pleased to have had all three of my submissions entered into the show. Shown above with my entry of Daisy, entitled "Her Soft Gaze" I was very thrilled to have received an Honorable Mention Award for the pastel category!!
