This piece, Baby Nora, was accepted to the Irving Art 2014 Wildlife & Domestic Animal Juried Art Competition! I was hesitant to enter a piece of art in a contest but I really wanted to see how I was stacking up. So I went out on a limb and gave it a try. There are a number of entries by people whose work I respect, so it is exciting to be included.
There is a bit of risk involved in entering a contest. First, you feel presumptuous to think your work might be acceptable. Secondly, you risk feeling foolish if you don't get accepted. But finding out you were accepted, if only by a stroke of luck, is very exhilarating! I think risking feeling foolish is worth it. So my advice this week is risk it. You'll never know if something nice might happen unless you try!
