I'm very pleased to announce that my Watercolor painting "Slinging mud" received Honorable Mention at the
Draft Horse Classic, 'Art at the Classic' in Grass Valley, CA., during their exhibit & show in September of 2009.
There seems to have been a glitch somewhere along the line, as there was no ribbon with the painting while on exhibit and no ribbon or award list came home with the paintings in the box.
I was just recently made aware that my name had been on the award list, by another Equine artist that I admire,
Yvonne Kitchen. She was at the exhibit with her award winning sculptures, and also took photos of the art. Thank you Yvonne!
This year, I'm told by the coordinator, that the fair grounds was handling the paperwork and that this is the 1st time they have switched who does what. So a little glitch. They expect next year to go much smoother with this process.
The Draft Horse Classic is a very pretigious event and draws in a large Draft Horse crowd with their Drafts, every September. It's held on the Nevada County Fair Grounds. It's a very big deal to just get a work of art acepted into the art exhibit, which I had two accepted. But then to find out I won an award was even sweeter!
