Last evening I was honored with the First Place Award in Cape Coral Art League's annual juried show celebrating all varieties of the birds we so enjoy. Fine Artist Janette Chupack judged the show and I am thrilled she chose SPLASH DANCE for the blue ribbon! Thank you Janette for this fabulous award and thanks to the Cape Coral Art League for a delightful show and reception! SPLASH DANCE was the subject of my July 29, 2013 post called "Water Ballet".
The show may be seen at 516 Cultural Park Blvd, Cape Coral and runs through February 26 during the hours 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday!
You look so pretty, Rosemary! My parents used to own a lot in Cape Coral when I was a kid. I think they sold it years ago. Anyway, congratulations indeed and that painting is just mesmerizing in its beauty!
ReplyDeleteSherry, you say the sweetest things! Cape Coral is a lovely place with many, many waterfront home sites. The area continues to grow as more and more folks discover it. I am happy you like SPLASH DANCE! Thanks for your continuing friendship and support!
