Finally we are getting a few minutes to get back to updating the website and such.
This means you can now order prints or get more information about Tuckered Out from my website.
Also a big thank you to everyone who offered suggestions to help name the new print. Especially to Angela Finney who was the one who suggested “Tuckered Out.”
As a special thanks, Angela was sent a print of Tuckered Out.
It was a wonderful Christmas time surprise, too! It is so much more colorful and detailed than the web version, just love looking at it!.
Katherine, at Marking a Mark blog, talks about the Moose Award today (12/30/09). Sorry everyone, she picked the winner, no voting this year.
Been busy trying to do a poster for a poster competition for a local art fair and wine festival. Don’t know if I can get it done by the deadline or not. Some of my work time will be cut short next week by orientation training for doing taxes. I will post about it sometime soon.
I would like to get all pissy about not winning the Moose Award, but it’s hard to do when the winner does such great work. I think though that it was not so much best illustrated animal (and I must say all the nominations were excellent) but rather she seemed to judge the blog as a whole.
Hm . . . I wonder if that means I’m a loser on both accounts.
Thanks again Angela for the nomination. I’ll pop over to see what you’ve been up too. Hoping to see your poster your speaking about.
I haven’t posted yet, maybe tomorrow. Have three days completlely to myself, except for barn chores and feeding myself (bought cheese and seafood I don’t usually get to enjoy) to work on it. I have a vision, but don’t know if I can pull it off — since I will probably use acrylics, not highly likely — but I will be giving it a good go. I am still working on my preliminary drawing. When start working on it, three days still won’t be enough to finish probably. I will write about it tomorrow sometime. Must see my friend off to a three day barrel race (insane this time of year) and then I will be on my own, probably mid afternoon tomorrow sometime through most of Sunday.
I did write about your blog when nominating you. Hopely she will become a fan and maybe you will be on Who’s Making a Mark, sometime — you do deserve it.
Angela,
Barrel Racing, seriously? Is it some place warmer? Or indoors? Will take a look tomorrow at your blog to see. I really need to subscribe because I pop over daily.
I read what you had written for the nomination and it was very nice. Thank you. I’ve gotten a fair amount of traffic from MAM as well from it, so it’s all good.
I have a very healthy self esteem so what I wrote previously was me trying to be clever. I forget most people who read the blog don’t know me so may take what I say literally.
So once again, the whole process for me was “all good.” And it was your generous spirit to nominate me that made it so.
So glad you’re doing prints of this one — he’s wonderful. I love reading your blog and the winner would have to be someone insanely good to actually beat what I see here and read here. I’ll take your word for it the winner is that good but awards aren’t everything. As far as I’m concerned, you’re a favorite.
P.S. Mona, I do get your sense of humor, 80% of the time now, even though I tend to take things literally. I still often reply in a serious vein, just the same. Glad you are getting some traffic from it. The barrel racing is indoors, but a three hour drive or so and she will be sleeping in an older horse trailer — but she is CRAZY for barrel racing.
Thanks Robert, You are such a sweetie.
Angela, I kinda figured you did, but you often make me think (in a good way) about how I present myself in my writing. And I realize that the written word lacks personality. And I think it’s easy to bring one’s own emotional state into any reading And since we were talking about, for many people, an emotional and personal subject of one’s own art being judged, that some people might take what I wrote seriously.
But in the end I go with it anyway. I find I easily amuse myself. And I like it.
