Something extraordinary has happened!


Posted: Dec 23, 2009

I was on a couple of months back, talking about how I had plans to be an artist for my retirement and how I was starting to sell things. Keep this in mind: I graduated art school 26 years ago and shortly afterward put my brushes down. I didn't pick them back up until April of 2009. I have been back painting about 9 months. A few weeks ago, a friend on Facebook put out a call for 3 artists. I didn't know what she wanted, but I replied. She instructed me to send 3 digital photos, my personal contact information and an artist bio to her email. Then she explained to me that this is for entry into a gallery and that my work would need to go through the jury process, narrowing 12 artists down to 3. I received the final jury decision today: I am one of the 3 artists accepted!!!!!! I will share being the featured artist for January 2010 with an other artist. They will be mounting a postcard campaign for us and we will cohost a reception at the gallery in our honor. CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE????? This was not supposed to happen to me yet. I have to stop putting my paintings in an old shoebox when I am done. I will have to dress for this event and I'll need to see if I have clothing that doesn't already have paint on it. I feel as if I have bitten off way more than I can chew, but I know I can do it. ;

You go girl!!!!! - Happy MT Robin

That is wonderful news. Post info and/or links if you have any. I'd love to see your work.

Good for you for going for it. Congratulations and have an awful lot of fun at the reception. Wear the clothing that has the paint on it - you'll look like a bohemian artist.

Congratulations and best of luck to you! - Tired&CrankyMT

Has This Ever Happened To Anyone?Jan 06, 2012
A couple of weeks ago, someone apparently used my e-mail address (and whatever else) to sign up for auto insurance quotes, creditmatch.com, and several other seemingly unrelated online services.  Several different insurance companies called my house all in one day, back to back, and my inbox was full of messages from all of these sites that I had supposedly registered with.  Has anyone ever had this happen, or know how it could happen?  I mean, I've had my e-mail address ...

in Libya?  The Pentagon confirmed we have ground troops there.  I guess this is just another free pass for Obama, huh?  Where is the screaming and yelling about this being a war for oil because that is exactly what this is.  Where is the screaming and yelling about how he lied and said we wouldn't have ground troops even though that is what is happening now.  Where is the screaming and yelling about our president waging war on a country without the approval of congr ...

Something Bad Happened To My Son...Mar 20, 2011
at church today.  An older boy (6) touched him in an inappropriate manner (licked his bottom), after locking the door to the bathroom, so that noone could see.  My son came and told me immediately and we talked about touching that is okay and not okay (thankfully, we have already had this talk, which is why he came to his father and me) and not to let someone ever do that again, as well as making clear that he can tell us anything and that he should never do this to anyone else, either ...

I just went to a group interview where there were about 30 of us. We all waited in the lobby. There were about 25 men and 5 women. Three of the women were standing. NONE, and I mean NONE of the men offered their seats to us, nor did they allow us to enter through the doors first.Is this what we've come to? Are parents not teaching this stuff? I don't think I'm weaker by any means, but is it not gentlemanlike to do this anymore?Am I wrong? ...

What Happened To The End Of Offshoring Act? Jun 13, 2017
There is no greater contempt for Americans than to offshore our jobs to China and India, and then award these companies who do it with big government contracts paid by the American taxpayers.  What happened to the NAFTA renegotiations?  What happened to the 35% penalties promised?  Over 60 executive orders signed during the first 100 days and Trump has the power to do this, but does not.  What gives?  He campaigned on this promise.  Is this another campaign pro ...

So What Happened To All The ManufacturingJun 20, 2017
Maybe he really meant more robots will have jobs.  Otherwise, most of the companies that use people for labor are taking their jobs to India and China, which by the way includes Trump and Ivanka. I honestly don't blame Trump for our job losses, I blame automation, but I also didn't believe his lies that he was going to bring the jobs back like those on the right did.    ...

What Happened To Free Kitties And Puppies?Nov 14, 2009
I was on Craigslist today to look for my sister a kitty for christmas because hers just died and she hasn't been able to get another one.  People were trying to charge people like $500 to get rid of their dog!  I thought usually when you give a pet away that you do just that... give it away... for free.  Over and over again the people state that the fee is to make sure the animal goes to a good home, but that is CRAP!!!  People who treat animals like dirt can pay the fee ...

feeling well. Both ears swelled up and couldn't be touched. She was very 'mopey' and felt warm to touch. I was going to call the vet on the third day, but she was back to normal. Last night, when we sat down for supper (and I didn't see this at first), she started making noises like she was scratching herself but the sounds got worse and then she came from behind DH's chair and I saw that she was having trouble walking, like she was drunk. I immediately jumped up from m ...
