"Madison: People, Places, and Events"




"Jux" was chosen to be part of this exhibit, opening Feb. 4th through March 31st. There were over 300 entries with 62 chosen for the show. The reception is Sat. afternoon at two different venues, The Overture Center and the Steenbock Gallery, Jux will be at Steenbock. So, this is my first reception at a juried show and I'm feeling pretty good about myself.

Jean, this is terrific news and I am not at all surprised this painting was selected. Your first juried show - it certainly won't be your last. I'm very happy for you!

Yay, Jean! It's a real eye-catcher and I wouldn't be surprised if you won a prize. Congratulations for being accepted into the show!

Terri, thank you. I was happy to hear the news also. The gallery is right by the UW campus and is the old Academy of Arts and Science. I'm looking forward to this.

Sharon, I had to laugh at Jux's ability to attract attention. Young women always give him lots of attention! Thank you so much.

Thank you Linda. This is the first one that I've entered. I'll be interested to see what kind of press coverage there will be. I received a letter yesterday indicating some surprises were in store for us.

Alex, Thank you for the encouragement. If they give a prize in the catagory of "young women's choice" he'll take it hands down.

Jean

Jean,
Congratulations on "Jux" and the acceptance to the Exhibit on Feb. 4th. I saw the picture of "Jux" and I had to tell you it caught my eye. Awesome job! Best of luck!

Paul
