The Scottsdale Artist League has one big show a year that hangs in the Scottsdale Artist's School for three weeks. I got my first money prize for this watercolor called Codger.

I have had a few seconds and thirds and been in some really worthwhile shows, but there is something about a $250 check and that beautiful BLUE ribbon that makes you feel like you are doing something very right!

Very cool Debra, congratulations! I'm sorry I missed that show. Are you going to enter a piece in the school's "Best and Brightest" show conimg up soon?

Well, Heidi, if you really want, it opens on Friday and runs to the 16th. James Colter was the judge and they had the jury last month but the school didn't give us time for a reception so we just hang it on Friday and pick it up when we are done.

The Best and Brightest. Funny, I think I might be eligible, but I haven't actually attended a class since Chris!

I may not be their favorite person. I sort of have protested the Open Studio procedures. I am just trying to keep busy for a while and stay out of peoples way.

I doubt I can stay away, but busy is really much better!

Thanks so much, all of you. It sounds sort of wierd, but I am walking on air. I just feel real all of a sudden.
