Time to be judged
I can't believe what I've done.
See this paper and FedEx envelope? It's my application for a small works art contest up in Golden. I've done it. I've entered three of my 5x7" paintings in a competition. I didn't decide to do it until the day before the applications were due--that's why it's being sent via overnight shipping.
It's my hummingbird trio.
This last one isn't even finished yet. I'm pretty excited about the translucent wings on this one. See the yellow on he flower and the green leaf behind the left wing? This is to show motion because I hummingbird flaps it's winds so rapidly that the wings appear translucent. I was quite proud of myself for figuring out how to do that; however, I can't believe I'm crazy enough to enter a painting that isn't even finished yet. It must be finished by tomorrow so that it has time to dry before I FedEx them to the Fine Arts Center.
My goal for this competition is to have one of my paintings accepted for the contest. You see, if they aren't good enough, they are rejected and aren't even put in the exhibition. My hope is that all three aren't rejected, although I fully expect that they might be.
They have to be in by June 26nd and I won't know until July 11th if any of them have been accepted. A condition of the contest is that all the artwork has to go up for sale. Wouldn't it be exciting to have a complete stranger purchase one of my paintings? Although I will admit that selling one of them would be almost like selling one of my children.
Keep your fingers crossed. I'll let you know how it turns out.
