Richeson75 Smallworks Competition 2011:Yorkshire Terrier oil painting: Punchinello


 My small oil painting of THE yorkie was accepted into the Richeson75 Smallworks online show. It would have gone into jurying in person had I not been distracted with tending to my husband's broken foot.(he is mending well) Missed the mail in deadline for that. But I am glad that I was juried in with the other artists..some of whom I visit online and have personally met.  So, congrats to them for making the grade on this show. I feel quite honored to be showing with them.
