Mid-Valley Arts League 2005 Annual Show

In previous posts I said I was entering two paintings in the Mid-Valley show. Much to my surprise, I found out today that both had won Honorable Mention awards in the Landscape category. The paintings are shown in archives as "Sierra Vista" and "Monument Valley". I am encouraged by these awards since they are the first since I started painting watercolors about four years ago. Having just attended the awards ceremony, I can appreciate the long road ahead if I ever hope to paint like the top award recipients.
