Am I In or Am I Out?

I was so excited when I opened the email from the Pastel Society of Southeast Texas to see if I had been accepted into their National Exhibit “Art of the Pastel”. It wasn’t your typical letter- usually the competition letters start out either Congratulations or I am sorry to say……. This one had a beginning paragraph about the success of the Pastel Society.

Second paragraph - Thank you for submitting your work—-I thought here goes the Dear John letter. But it didn’t - it talked about the overall competition.

Anyone who knows me, knows I have dyslexia so when I read my eyes like to jump around. So when I am all excited my eyes bounce around more than usual. My eyes kept searching for a Yes or a No.

Third paragraph was the longest one on the page which told about how the two jurors judged the show and what they were looking for in a painting. This is all good info to know after I find out, am I in or out?

Fourth paragraph was thanking us for entering the competition. There were a couple of sentences in bold….is this it my eyes said? No, then right after the fourth paragraph listed in a column were my two entries and their titles with an “Accepted “ after each each! I was so elated!! Yes, my paintings “Morning Walk 2” and “Morning Walk 5” were accepted into the National Exhibit of the Pastel Society of Southeast Texas.

For anyone who is in the area of Southeast Texas, the opening and reception is Saturday, April 28, 2018 from 6:00 - 9:30 pm at The Center for the Arts and Sciences, 400 College Blvd, Clute TX 77531. The exhibit/sale will run thru May 23, 2018. Thank you jurors whoever you were!!
