I have completed my three lots of 'Meet the Artist' demonstrations as at the South Australian Museum and I had an absolute ball doing it! I hope that the Waterhouse Exhibition continues to grow for many, many years to come and that I will be lucky and privileged enough to be chosen in a future show. :)

Happy Endings was sold before the Waterhouse Art show even officially opened, which is wondeful news.  We'll be travelling to Canberra in early October to see it displayed in the National Archives. Can't help it....I have to go squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

It isn't all disappointing news. We attended at the opening of the Waterhouse Art Prize and I found out that my picture is 'Highly Commended" 

This is fantastic because it means that my piece, along with the winning artworks and the few others that received high commendations, will be touring to Australia's capital, Canberra. Very exciting!

Well....I didn't win anything at the Waterhouse. It was no real surprise (a lot of the other pieces there were way too good) but it was still a little bit of a disappointment. I guess everyone hopes it'll be them, even if they outwardly say they don't really mind (or is that just me). Oh well, at least I made it into the competition in the first place, so I shouldn't be that upset. I know that there are another 94 people who probably feel just like me tonight.

My piece will now be publicly shown for the next month and I can always try again next year. Congratulations to all of those people who won prizes!
