Who would have thought that a small drawing created last year as an Illustration Friday entry would lead me to fame and fortune? OK...no real fame and only a small $200 award. But still, I am very proud to say that this small colored pencil drawing won Best in Show at last nights opening of Main Street Gallery's juried still life exhibit. What a truly fantastic surprise!
The show will be hanging from March 3rd - April 12. If you find yourself in downtown Tyler Texas, stop by to see all of the beautiful artwork created by East Texas artists!
Congratulations! I really love this piece. I adore birds, and have many at my feeder, but have a hard time drawing them...I suppose if I can draw dead bees, it's a similar situation. I know that the masterful Beatrux Potter used to draw dead animals a lot...and look how good she was! Well done, and thanks for your kind comment on my blog as well!
