Being the early riser that I am, I doubted the Cambridge Art Association had already updated their site with the artists that were accepted into their Northeast Prize show, the biggest show of the year which was once national but has become regional due to fire hazard issues with the shipping and storing of artwork. I always doubt the quality of my work when I dont get accepted into national or regional shows even though we all know jurying artwork is so subjective and you are at the mercy of the judges style and preferences as to how he wants the show to look. Well bingo! This judge decided my painting was show worthy!! I have been doing the regional and national show submissions for about 5 years now, it all started when I got my first issue of Art Calendar magazine and searched the show listings in the back to see if there was something that seemed like a good fit with my artwork.

Getting accepted to a regional or national show makes me smile, these are the 2 works I submitted, the first painting is the one that got in.
