Online Art Competition



As an avid user of Facebook, I came upon an artist group, sponsoring the 1St Annual Autumn Painting Challenge and Competition. I submitted my painting "Lady in Waiting" because the use of colors and landscape were conducive to the objectives of the competition.

Fifteen winners were announced ( was not one of them) and will be participating in an actual Gallery Show in western Pennsylvania. Even though I did not win, it is very good, in the age of social media, to put yourself out there, and connect with other artists. Get your work viewed by as many people as possible. Often times, it is not what you know, but who you know when you get your big break in life.

This is an item I will be adding to my Artist Resume as well. Document everything. This will make a bigger impression upon that gallery owner you are trying to convince to exhibit your work.
