Congrats,Kim.

Recently I faced that kind of problem here in Brazil. It happened that I did read the fine prints... and I stopped.

I am sure you did much better, going on. Who knows about the great things you are about to find in the other side. At least something good was achieved already, as Chris suggested.

Good luck,

Ant

Thanks Ant & Terri!

I just heard that I won the Director's Award for this.

Of course with the time difference the woman called right as I was getting the kids off to school....I wonder how professional I sound with hollaring kids in the background.

Linda, if you think you are still going - email me. Maybe you'd like to be my representative and accept the award for me? They seem to strongly encourage the artist to be there or a representative. If not, do not worry about it. I sure wish I had decided to send this in soon enough to get in their color catalog...darn.

Kim,

This is a big nugget . I would not be bashful about touting it. How about a post card, a flier, or maybe a balloon over West Texas, or something like that.

Congrats!

Wonderful news Kim,
And well deserved. Not only do I think that you will easily sell this painting, I think there will be several people "duking it out" for it.

Better yet, I'll wear my guano-spattered overalls and pretend I'm you! And hey, is it a cash award, perchance?

Oh Kim, I couldn't be happier for you about this painting, well done. Big congratulations! I'll email you.

Mike - Oh yes - your involvement was totally critical - as a matter of fact I do believe you pointed out a tangent in the wrap and I changed it accordingly - see - I couldnt have done it without you. Now - I do need to send out flyers - can I have your mailing list?

Linda - it is a whoping $100 award. I have never been, but I hear you could spend that in seconds in NYC just taking a cab ride...try not to spend it all in one place! I would like to respectfully request you wear one of Sharon's green wigs if you are going to impersonate me...we might as well make an impression.

Thank you folks - I appreciate it.
