First Art Award

I found this the other day and had to post.  This is from the Ashland Fine Arts Fair. It's my first art award and purple ribbon to boot. The project was a mixture of sawdust and Elmer's glue that was then made into clay like substance and I molded into an elephant then painted it once dry. In February I once again entered the Ashland Fine Arts Fair and one two purple ribbons.("Belle" and Breaking Through") They had opened an adult category.  Only problem was I was the only adult who entered anything. I don't know what's worse, winning first place only competing against yourself or if I would not have won anything against nobody!

Birkenstock

I don't know if I ever posted this but I wanted to get a new post up to go with my new Spring background.  Now if only spring would show itself.  I can't wait to be able to wear my Birks.  The only summertime sandals I'll wear! More to be seen on the "Simply Impassable" pic soon. I had a surprise root canal done yesterday and thought it a bad idea to work on it while on meds.

"Simply Impassable"

I've working on this a lot but it just doesn't seem like a lot is done. I've included a close up of some detail.  I'm working all over the place on this which really bugs my sensibilities. It's a must though. With the watercolor being applied first I have to work my overlay of pencil where I can in the dry areas.
You may have noticed I've changed the spelling of Impassable.  I keep seeing it spelled differently.  I'm using how it is on the Disney album.
