Thanks a bunch guys, and thanks Beth for posting it (I felt embarrassed doing so)
The show starts today (May 27th) and runs until July 9th. It's in Mystic, close to where "Mystic Pizza" was filmed. It's a very nice area, the Mystic Arts Center is a nice display house.
I was shocked to hear I won best of show. Because of the area and the people putting the show together, I ass-u-med a landscape or still life, or even a child's portrait would be favored.
I was really just hoping for the $500 pastel prize, but I saw one of Sam Goodsell's pieces there, and figured if it came down to both of ours, he'd win. He's got a name in the pastel world and his stuff is beautiful. I used to look at his work in magazines, and never thought much of it, thought they were rather bland. I had the pleasure of seeing two in person, and they're amazing. This guy can use a piece of chalk!
I'll take pictures at the reception June 2nd and post a few.
I'm 35, but you can be my older sister, like Beth.
Thanks again!

Jimmie, there is no stopping you now! Congratulations for a much deserved win!
Everyone: I can personally attest that this piece is wonderful to see. You see, Jimmie actually drove this pastel loose in the trunk of his car, down to my humble studio back in April. I was overwhelmed to see the real thing. So get out and see his show if you can, because "tracey in blue" (lower case prefered by jimmie) looks even better in person!
Thanks Jimmie for that preview!!
Garth

Jimmie,
Terrific. I will get a chance to see this as I will be in Mystic during that time. I know EXACTLY where that is as I am from Connecticut and that is near my old summer stomping grounds.
I'll see if I can make the opening!
