Competition San Antonio Art League Museum

So I've entered a local art competition - I'm sure my work will be original, and new since I still haven't met another artist working with wax. Who knows - it was a good experience to learn all the requirements of the work.

Wish me luck!

FIRST FRIDAY OPENING at BLUE STAR

So I finally did it! My first official art opening. I'm out there in the public eye - well, other than having my art in some clients, my friends homes, and the Inn. On Feb 1st, I had my wax on canvas paintings displayed at Loft 120, in San Antonio's central art district, Blue Star.

The work recieved rave reviews and everyone loved the idea that it was melted wax.

Thanks to Tony, and my two best friends, Kelly and Jenna for driving all the way from Austin to support me.

An amazing, heartful thanks to my dear husband that must love me - he and my mother in law, Betty surprised me with a 2 dozen bouquet of red and pink roses for the grand opening. He is my biggest fan and support!
