In my previous post I talked about being open to new opportunities. Recently I was asked to judge the 2011 Colorama art show for the Wisconsin Visual Artist's Guild. They are a very talented group of artists who show their work at the Reaching New Heights gallery inside Marshfield Clinic in Weston, WI, among other venues. Last Friday evening they had the awards ceremony, and a fundraiser for Marshfield Clinic's cancer research foundation.
Every time I judge a show, I come away with an even deeper appreciation of what it takes to create, not only quality and meaningful art, but art in general. Every piece is a part of you. And that is pretty amazing.

Thank you to the Wisconsin Visual Artist's Guild for the opportunity to be a part of your event! And a big THANK YOU to artist Sharon Feathers who provided these photos of the evening, and also received First Place for her piece, "Lost Hopes and Dreams."

Thank you Carrie. I had a lot of fun painting the poppy; more are coming. I learned A LOT from my Carol Marine workshop and, lo and behold, what she says works!
