Our own Carol Norton was voted Artist of the Year for the Scottsdale Artists League with her painting "Guardian of the Herd'!
Congrats Carol!

Memorable Moment!
 

:D Thank you Debra, it truly was a thrill to have my portrait (with a figurative twist) recognized among so many "fine" fine artists!

Carol,

This is really an honor and a recognition of not only this painting,but of your body of work. It is so well deserved! I have so much enjoyed seeing the amazing, rapid and SOLID progress of your career.

Paint on, paint on.

Wow, Carol--congratulations! Can you post the painting here, or a link to it?

Congrats, that's well deserved.

'Artist of the Year' Painting
 

Thank you all - Chris, with whom I have studied and pestered with questions since 2003 and whose teaching skills are as superb as her paintings, and Alexandra and Claudemir - whose work I respect and admire.

The painting that won the Scottsdale Artists' League Artist of the Year award is on the home page of my website: www.cenorton.com and is called "Guardian of the Herd".

Thanks, Carol! Your whole website looks great, too. Why don't you post that self-portrait here on SOG?

Self-Portrait
 

Thanks! My avatar is the home page self-portrait. It's pretty impressionistic, unlike prior efforts, and I'll give it a try.

Carol,
That is so wonderful, congratulations. I'm very excited for you and I really enjoy your work.

Thanks
 

Than you, Patty. It was a lovely moment that I will remember.

Carol, this is fantastic news! Your career has really taken off, and deservedly so. Your paintings pulse with vibrancy and life. I am so proud to know you and I'm very happy to hear about these accolades.

:)

Thank you
 

Thanks so much, Linda. I am thrilled, needless to say. Hope your two-gallery openings went well last week and that Santas bought everything. :santa:

Carol,

Hi fives all around...this is great news. Now you must post a picture of this painting for all of us to ooh and ah over.

Thank YOU, Chris!
 

Thanks to Chris, the painting was posted! I think I need a live-in techie.

That's a great piece! Beautiful and painterly.

Thank you for commenting, Claudemir, and coming from you, your words are a real compliment. ;)
