National Association of Women Artists 121st Annual Exhibition
"Flatiron - Bird's Eye View"
Oil on canvas
24 x 18 inches
The National Association of Women Artists is holding their 121st Annual Exhibition at the National Arts Club in Gramercy Park and I received a call that my painting has won an award. Always nice to hear. The reception is on Thursday, June 17th, but I stopped in on my way home to check out the show the other day. I'm sorry to say that something went very wrong with this exhibit. Whoever installed this large show should never be allowed to wield a hammer and nails ever again. The work was hung haphazardly, some walls were chock full of paintings with little space between each work, other walls were bare or sparsely covered. No rhyme or reason for pieces hanging next to one another. A real disappointment for the artists in the show. I've been a member of this organization for many years and this is the first time this has ever happened. Artist-run organizations have their ups and downs to be sure, and a lot depends on the leadership and the volunteers involved. NAWA really dropped the ball on this one and I can only hope that things get sorted out by the time the 122nd Annual rolls around next year.

Sorry to hear that the design portion of the show was so mishandled. But the award portion of the show seems right on — that painting deserves an award!
Your paintings are so very good. When I first arrived at your blog and looked at the pictures I thought it was photography. You have a great talent for painting.
Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.
