This painting recently won 2 awards from American Art Awards 2009 Foundation. First place for Realism in Still Life and Second place in the Romanticism Division.

Learning about using the computer as an effective tool for marketing one's own artwork is a whole new ballgame for me. A couple of weeks ago, I didn't even know what a "blog" was let alone how to create one.

I have to hand it to the creators of this online software, they sure have made it easier for artists like myself to take advantage of a much larger audience.

Now we will have to see if the Grand Experiment works!
