For a few years now, I have submitted entries to the Colored Pencil Society of America's annual international exhibit, but had never had one of my pieces chosen. I just found out that "Waiting" (a portrait of my grandson, Ethan) has been accepted for this year's show! It will be re-framed with plexiglass for safe shipping, and sent off to Los Gatos, California in July.
Exciting!

Congratulations how exciting, a well deserved place for a lovely picture.
Congratulations, Liz! I loved this picture when I first saw it and it thoroughly deserves its place in the exhibition, it's wonderful :)
Exciting indeed! Congratulations!!! Woo-hoo! This piece is wonderful - the expression you have captured and the title. Love the skin tones, not to mention the detail in his clothing! A well deserved acceptance. :-)
Congratulations Liz! That makes two of us! I have submitted before and this is my first as well!
I love the eyes and softness of the face.
I'm very happy for you!
Pauline and Janet, thank you! It is still sinking in that my piece will really be in this show!
Teresa and Dianna, thank you, and congratulations right back to you! Will either of you be going to California for the event?
Hi Liz, I am so happy for you. I have long been a champion of your work, and this acceptance is long overdue! Let me know if you're going to the convention. I haven't decided yet.
Congratulations on the acceptance. Wonderful news.
This portrait is wonderful. The skintones are beautiful and the expression perfect.
Congratulations, Liz! I love the sweet innocence of this piece.
Debbi, thank you so much! I would love to go, and even more so if I had you as a traveling companion, but I don't know if I can afford it... definitely giving it some thought!
Jeanette and Kathy, thank you! I really did love capturing some of his four-year-old sweetness.
Congratulations! Its a great piece.
Thank you Paula, and the same to you!
