Surprise! I'm pleased to share that I did get the Bronze award! MSW put it up on Facebook this afternoon with the narrative, and someone posted the printed awards page so it must be right! My thanks to the juror John Keeling, Laman Public Library in North Little Rock, MSW and the many volunteers who make these exhibitions possible. I am grateful that large paintings are accepted at this venue and another one closer to home or this painting would never have been seen. You can read more about the process of this painting on my blog page last May. Back to my brushes.

Once upon a time in an exhibit a long, long time ago, I was notified that I had won an award, but when the image was posted on their website it wasn't my painting. So there was a question in my mind whether this person's painting or mine had actually won the award. It turned out I had won the award and the image was corrected. I have to say I felt awful for the other person who had questioned that association as well. Why am I telling you this story? From that moment forward, I haven't commented on awards until I am notified. So I am putting this up with a caveat: It appears I have won the Bronze award at the MSW exhibition, but I have only seen that info on Facebook. Back to my brushes.
