Member Show

Get your mind out of the gutter.

Tonight was the Rehoboth Art League Member Show and I won a blue ribbon for "Emerging Delaware Artist". I was very excited. One woman (I won't mention names) tried desperately to ruin the moment for me by questioning whether I was "emerging" because I've sold paintings in the past. I told her I was trying to be happy and enjoy the moment. (grrrrr) Anyway - since I have only been trying to be a "professional" artist since last August, I consider myself to be "emerging". After this year, maybe not. It's sad that people feel the need to p*ss on other people's parades at times, you know?

I'll take a pic of the painting and ribbon tomorrow and post. Buzz wrecker aside, I am very happy about the night!
