I received an e-mail from the Texas Arts and Craft Fair the other day with a PDF of their newsletter for the upcoming show in May which I am participating in. I quickly scanned it, looked at the logo for this year's show and subconsciously recognized a pastel that I did but it took a few seconds for it to register!If you look closely, near the center of the star, that little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a commission I did a couple of years ago! I didn't know that I had a piece they were going to use in their logo - how cool is that?!
If you remember reading my post a couple of days ago on taking good photographs that can be used as a reference photo - this is not an example of good photos. They were taken with a flash, looking down at the dog making her foreshortened and just poor quality photos.
Here is the finished pastel. The client was thrilled with it and I was pleased with the way it turned out considering the references I had to work with.

To read the entire newsletter and read more about the event and the artists that were chosen to exhibit here is a link http://www.tacef.com/Home%20Page/Foundation%20Page/FoundationPg.htm It was a great show for me last year despite the flooding conditions! I have high hopes this year for an even better show and beautiful weather - but in Texas you never know!

Karen,
Congratulations,great recognition and well deserved! Best of luck at your exhibition.
Thanks Marsha! That show was a lot of hard work but a lot of fun too. The organizers really treat the artists well and it is a beautiful location. I'm still madly dashing about getting ready for my show this next weekend in Lockhart - you know all those last minute details.
