Award winning

This time the news is about Michelle. This week she entered one of her most recent projects in the Vienna 40th Treasury of Art Show. This is a juried show, judged by Fredric Briggs, who has twice been named the top watercolorist in the U.S.

She was notified yesterday that not only was the piece accepted in the show, it received an Honorable Mention award!

Tonight, she and Jen, who is recovering quite well, got dolled up and went to the artist reception in Vienna, where she was supposed to get a one-on-one critique from Mr. Briggs, as well as rub elbows with other northern Va. art illuminati. She was really tickled with the award, particularly because she said that watercolor-expert judges are hardest judges on their own media. I wanted to go as well, feeling much better today, but we thought that rubbing elbows was just too much close contact for someone on immunospressive therapy right now.

So congratulations Michelle!
