Accepted

My swan painting and water lily painting got accepted in the fair. Both are miniatures. I am happy.

Geese Painting

This painting combines the idea of the miniature and motion.

Minatures

The Water Lily painting is entitled: "Clara's Lilies.

Fuschias

An abstract representation. It was framed with a black matte and black frame.

The Fair

Yesterday I took 4 pieces of my art work to the Puyallup Fair. It took all year to get ready for this opportunity and I was ready. . . almost . . . I misunderstood the instructions for entry on the miniatures and I had to go back home and get the correct size. Fortunately I was ready for anything. I surprised myself as I drove back to the fair with my art work. I am motivated by putting things up in a display. Of course there is no guarantee that I will get in to the fair.

I even surprised myself when I put my Fuchsia painting in a frame it was beautiful (the Colors of Pink). It is an abstract interpretation of the flower. I will enjoy having it in our home that is if someone else doesn't want it. I am going to work on another one when I get home. My Fuchsias are doing very well right now and they are inspirational.

I also put in a different type of painting which is 16 distinct paintings that make one. It is of geese floating on the Columbia River. I will put the pictures up later. Then the 2 miniatures are of Lilly Pad and the other of a swan. I like both very much.

Any way I am off to explore Seattle and get more inspiration.
