A spring storm chases this cowgirl....but she wasn't picked for my first juried exhibition, In The Company of Cowgirls. Next year! It isn't likely that everything we do is going to be viewed and judged to be acceptable. However, if we let anything separate us from our passion for painting and stop to nurture our disappointment for very long, we are letting competition or another's expectations get in our way. The awards evening has a ticket waiting for me to go see some of my favorite women artists and I can hardly wait to see their work in person. JaNeil Anderson and K Henderson are really wonderful. So we keep painting and sharing our gifts.....remembering there is always a faster gun and a quicker brush!
