”Passing Penguin Time”
One thing you know for sure, if you don’t enter a show, you won’t get in. You have to take the leap and put your art out there and enter some shows. It is exciting to see your watercolor up there with some of the other great artists in the world. There were artists from 9 countries, and 32 states that entered. About 1,000 entries and 100 made it in the show. Larry Moore was the juror. He is a Gold Medal winner from the Society of Illustrators and other numerous awards along with articles in many art magazines.
I also got a great email from Judy Saltzman who is the vice-president of the National Watercolor Society letting me know that my painting, “Passing Penguin Time” is being featured on The National Watercolor Society site in the slider at the top of the website. You can go check it out. I’ll put the link at the bottom of this blog post.
Dave and I went with some friends down to Antarctica on a cruise. Not a lot of sunshine and laying on a tropical beach. More like all day out on the side of the ship, bundled up, looking at icebergs and searching the ocean for penguins.
But when I would get back to our room and zoom in on the pictures of the ocean, treasures would appear. Chin-Strapped Penguins.
Another treasure was captured in my sketchbook, a group of ladies from Japan playing Mahjong. Some things you see in life and you just want to capture them in a painting. So “Passing Penguin Time”came to be. Something to do while waiting for the next Penguin encounter. Have you found hidden treasures when you’ve zoomed into life?
