Had 2 art shows this weekend - the KAS and the WAS....didn't win a thing, not even the raffle!
The KAS was a heartbreak b/c the winner was a photo that I would literally deleted off my computer - a photo of a fish tank taken from the corner of said tank so that all the little fishies have red eyes and the photographer's shirt is reflected on the glass.
The WAS heartbreak is that for some reason, a painting listed in the booklet AND on the placard as WATERCOLOR made a win in the MIXED MEDIA category. Would that have been my spot? Who knows, there were 30+ pieces. But wtf?? If it's NOT a w/c, and it sure damn well does, then the proper info should have been placed on the placard, or at least the president should have stated a 'btw...'at the ceremony!
So I appreciate any and all ego stroking sent my way <

2 Month Anniversary
I wish it were a good kind.... 2 months ago, on Christmas Day, I lost my mother for suspected but unknown reasons. It's still a deep hurt, esp. at night, but to re-hash that is not my purpose here today. You, dear viewer, may not know that she was an artist in her own right. Selling oil paintings was one of the ways she earned extra money. Many a Christmas present was thanks to her talent back then. She would paint at our dining room table, snarling "Quit shaking the table!" as we scampered through. She painted mostly 16"x20" canvasboards - she didn't like the bounce of stretched canvas. When she decided to return to college, and then onto a job as an OT, painting fell to the wayside. When she retired, she went back to it on a smaller scale - 5"x 7" and rocks 'liberated' from landscaping. But eventually she went back to the larger size...and then became a granma. XD She would say "I need to get back to my painting" often, but things popped up - my sister and her kid
Worst Christmas Ever
Just after midnight on Christmas Day, Santa was sent down to take my mother to heaven. And while I am glad she is hale, hearty and whole, I am absolutely broken, as are my 2 sisters and my dad - her husband of 52 years. She'd been having breathing issues for months, but these last couple months they really accelerated. On Dec 19th she came out of the shower and basically collapsed on her bed, the pain in her legs and lungs draining her. But after a few minutes, she could regain normal breathing. But her prior scans showed no asthma or emphysema, and though she had a "leaky valve", she told me her doc told her "You do NOT have heart failure!" Fast forward to Friday. We live in Buffalo. If you've watched the news, you'd know that this was the day the blizzard started. I came home from work at 1230pm and she was in her chair. She complained of dizzyness, weakness, and nausea. Saturday , Christmas Eve, she was rather worse, and suspected that she may have had caught the flu.
Get Ready For the Rage
Very much doubt this 'new look' the watch page is getting will be met with cheers and roses. They really hate their subscribers, don't they? *EDIT* I've learned that newbies automatically have that whole new shit from the get-go, so let me rephrase that to: They really hate their past, don't they? I mean, it makes sense. Just like in RL, when a new company based out of state bought the company I was working for, the ones who sensed the storm earliest slipped away to new hunting grounds. When the storm came, it was most eager to un-root the oldest, seeing them as the least pliable. The storm wanted to shape saplings to its whim, regardless of effectiveness. Some are palms, and withstand the storm, but the pines, the oaks, and the maples will get flattened
What a Week.
Sunday: Flip flops, no coat, eating ice cream on an 83 degree day Mon: wake up in a sweat, hit the A/C cuz it's so humid. Then a 'monsoon' sweeps through Tue: Left for work with no jacket, regretted it at close cuz now it's 42 degrees Wed: @#$%^&* SNOW?! Someone PLEASE fix Old Man Winter's ankle bracelet - he's gotten out of the ward again!
