Competitions and Shows

I have settled in to Sequim, WA and it is definitely an artist's community. There is an Art Association (AA) here which I have joined and I am going to be doing their newsletter. Because I joined the AA I get notifications about the goings on here and have had the opportunity to enter in some competitions and shows.

OVER 60 COMPETITION TO APPEAR IN AN ART MAGAZINE
These are my entries:

Flowers and Pearls
Floating Blue Garden
COLORED MEDIUM COMPETITION TO APPEAR IN "THE ARTIST MAGAZINE"

My entries are:

A Rose and pearls               Plus the piece above entitled "Flowers and Pearls"





SHOW AND SALE AT THE PORT ANGELES LIBRARY

My entries:


Brown Earth Creature


Blue Forest Creature







Circus of Life Woodland Creature














SHOW AND SALE OF THE ART ASSOCIATION MEMBERS OF SEQUIM

My entries:

The Lady


 I'm also entering the two colored pictures above with the flowers and pearls.
















I recently participated in a 5"x7" show. Each piece sells for $20 and the money goes to the local school children for supplies. I had two entries but didn't take photos of them. They are still in the the Sequim Art Supplies store gallery and will be there until the end of this month.

I love these opportunities to share my art and to be involved in my new community. On top of those things I'm also doing three Bazaars before Christmas. The wonderful thing here is that there are opportunities to show and sell you art all year long. I've started looking into getting prints to sell so I don't lose my art when the original sells.

Here's hoping that you get to do something that you love at least once a day!
