Seriously, this is a terrific drawing, and I'm not surprised it was accepted. It's strong and sensitively executed. Congratulations!

I hope there will be an opportunity at the show for you to display promotional materials, or at least a business card, for potential clients to contact you.

[Michele Rushworth]

Congratulations! And I agree with Linda, it would be great if you could attach a business card somewhere near it, if the organizers would allow that.

[Janel Maples]

How exciting for you, congratulations!

Your news warms my heart, especially because you overcame your "Artist's Block" period.

I am very happy for you.

Thanks! I have been floating all weekend! This boost is just what I need considering I have registered to begin a painting class next week, fifteen weeks, two nights a week. This is exciting but I will be very nervous to start painting (my one class experience two summers ago was dreadful). Again, I will resort to my "Steven Mantra" - "Show up and pay attention"!!!

I have printed more business cards, hoping to be able to have them available. Would it be appropriate for me to call the gallery and ask? The artist's reception is Saturday evening. I do not want to misappropriate my acceptance into the show.

Congragulations Pat! This piece is well deserving.

[Michele Rushworth]

Definitely ask the gallery about business cards. All they can do is say no.

I saw a kid wearing a basketball shirt recently that I really liked. It said, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

What a lovely piece, Patricia! Your inclusion is well deserved.
