     Today I found out by looking at the Camden News that I have been awarded First Place in the Camden Daffodil Festival Art Competition!  I was thrilled to say the least, and my family was equally thrilled and delighted.  The piece entitled "Chance of Snow" will be featured on the 2013 Daffodil Festival T-shirts, poster, advertising and website.  The prize money will keep me in watercolor paper and paint for a little while, and definitely help with framing costs.  I hope that they send a copy of the newspaper, the photos online were great.  I enjoyed seeing people peruse all the artwork that was displayed at the Postmaster's Grill.  Again, it was just a delightful experience, and friendly people...but it is a long way from home.  Will look forward to purchasing my t-shirt and poster next year.  Hope the weather next year is as fantastic as we experienced taking the piece down this year.  For more information on the Camden Daffodil Festival go to www.camdenfestival.com.
