Funny, tonight I discovered posts that people were making on this blog site. I guess I didn't quite know how to get to the section where I could read the posts. I thank everyone (including Peggy, who has commented quite a bit) for their opinions and I apologize for not replying. I had no idea how to find the comment area and was befuddled, wondering if anyone was reading this! Now you know how primitive my computer skills are and that I'm not a natural at figuring these things out.
The last few days have been great ones in discovering some new things about myself and my work.
I've had the week off from teaching (exhausted, folks, really exhausted) and I've been able to feed the introvert in me by painting like a mad woman. I'm seeking more and more to discover the abstract within the realistic. I'm abstracting shapes more and more, along with those beautiful colors.

I also figured out today that I've made Signature Membership in the Rockies West Watercolor Society. I'm accumulating a nice number of national signature memberships across the country and I'm really proud of all the hard work I've done to gain this notoriety. Generally, most watercolor societies that present national and international exhibits require an artist to be accepted in three exhibits within a 10 year time frame. This is really, really hard to do. There are often 600 - 800 entries for each exhibit, and - generally - only around 80 or 90 paintings will be selected by the judge. So, I'm really proud of my consistent and hard work in being recognized. I have earned the following Signature Memberships: the Southern Watercolor Society (1/2 the country), the Virginia Watercolor Society, the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, the Baltimore Watercolor Soiciety, the Potomac Valley Watercolor Society ( a local organization), and now the Rockies West. I am SO thrilled!
