I just got a letter saying my "Boy and Birthday Cake" watercolour was accepted into the North East Watercolor Society's 31st Annual International Open Exhibition (2007) . The actual show and jurying of awards happens in October. I am very pleased because watercolour is such a new medium for me and I am always on the verge of giving it up. So something like this really gives watercolour an renewed importance for me.

Now if only I could get the hang of pastels ...

Oh, very exciting, congrats!

Thanks very much, Chris.

(For a moment I thought you were a hidden watercolorist yourself with your WC awards, but then realized they meant West Coast and not Watercolor.)

Great news Thomasin!

That is in the lovliest part of Connecticut. Are you attending?

Thank-you Sharon. Yes, it looks very much like I will attend, and make it into a holiday to boot. We all need a break! I haven't been to the east coast for about 10 years except for plane transfers to other destinations, and in October the trees will look so wonderful.
