This happened to be an extremely busy summer for me...
Our little girl is getting married, our horses are getting new barn,
lot of work in the garden and with my show dogs and I have few great art
events to attend what require extensive traveling...
With all this in mind I still have to make myself some quality painting time...
What I do... but those are mostly nights.
Few new painting are on a way, but mean while my "older paintings"
(what are mostly just 2-3 years "old" or even lesser) still do the job...
Yesterday I received a wonderful news from Oil Pastel Society.
"Congratulations! The judges have found your work to be exceptional and have awarded you signature status in the Oil Pastel Society."
I'm finding it very significant, because just about 3 years ago I found myself completely in love with Oil Pastels, finished my first floral painting and entered it into my very first juried show. It was beginning of exiting journey in the World of Big Art and it all started from Oil Pastels what I conceder my
"lucky medium" and one of my personal favorites...
Thank You to the Jury for this big Honor!..
Tatiana Myers, OPS.

Congratulations... so happy for you.
Congratulations... so happy for you.
Thank You, ladies! You are so right, Julie... it was one of my biggest goals - mastering of my pastels to the signature level. Now I have no choice but keep up with high standard and... I guess it is a right time to start tuning up my soft pastels too. It will take time, but whatever it takes. Perfection is just another name for horizon. If You are trying to reach it, it only keeps you moving frothier and frothier... what is a good thing.
Congratulations, Tatiana. That is a well-deserved status. With your schedule, I don't know how you manage to find any time to paint.
Thank you so much, Pat! Well, schedule... yes, it is complicated. now we have Jim's mom back from rehab, she is 94 and with all sorts of issues... then my horse got injured... have to medicate her 4 times daily (4 trips to the farm and back every day about 2-3 hours on a road every day). Then all the work with dogs... Leaves me pretty much no time but nights and occasionally little window during day time. I just trying to do lesser, but better. Downside - no time for Plein Air. Oh well, will have my week out in August, it should be great. Wouldn't be possible too, but Ira is my Angel, she will take care of things at home, so I can get out for once.
Huge Congratulations, Tatiana - you are such an inspiration!
Thank You, Claire!
