Art Visions 2010

I just received the acceptance email from my first juried National Competition.  I was one of 65 chosen out of 225 for "Art Visions 2010".  It's put on by the Central Okanagan Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists that I belong to. It's juried by top artists from other chapters.

I never expected I'd be accepted but thought I should start entering these bigger competitions with the hope that someday I might get lucky.  This just goes to show all my insecure artist friends, miracles do happen.

    Bonnie, can't imagine why you thought this wouldn't be accepted. YOu did a great job with the light and water!

    I tend to shy away from the big contests too, especially as they're getting so expensive to enter. But I don't care what they say - judging art has got to be subjective, and you never know which judge your art is going to appeal to. Best of luck with this one!
