I returned from a trip to Georgia to news that my painting “Ayala Weekend” received an Honorable Mention as part of this year’s Los Gatos Art Association’s Annual Juried show. This means a great deal to me because I so admire the judge, Kim Lordier. Plus … between us friends can I also just say … there is ample self doubt that comes with this painting stuff and it is so lovely to receive an unanticipated affirmation. Thank you Kim!
