Today is a big day

For the three of you who follow my blog, today is opening day of Dermot Gale Award Show for Members - April 4 - 25, 2009

I have my 3 pieces ready that I previously blogged about and am super proud of them and am inviting all my fans to come on down to the NRPL to check out the show.

As well today, the annual Easter Egg Hunt and Bonnet Parade at Davenport Park will be going on.

Both events are taking place at virtually the same time and haven't cloned myself as of yet, I will be relying on Anthony who will be taking Brook to Davenport in her beautiful bonnet (below):

and am hoping he takes plenty of pictures of the hunt if I cannot get there in time.

The Shows drop off time is from 10-11:30am and the Easter Egg hunt and Bonnet Parade starts at 10:30am.

I am going to get to the Library early (before 10am) to drop off my work and run off to the park. So wish me luck, I am sure to blog about the outcome!

The Juried Art Show

Saturday is the day of the New Rochelle Juried Art Show selection. If selected, my photos will be on display and for sale at the NR Public Library.

I am nervous.

I have never "showed" my work to anyone other than my friends and family and to the online community that follow my blog (presently I have just 1 and only follower...hint hint...follow me!) and it is a little nerve racking.

I think what I fear most is rejection. I don't think they will be rejected, but there is still a chance that they will not be accepted.
The Jury consists of 5 judges and they will be making the final decision that very day 9/20/08.

I am confident that I picked the right photos to show and they are double matted and framed in a "studio" black frame. If selected, the show will be from
9/25/08-10/18/08 which is very exciting.
The more time up, the more admirers I receive, just that much more exposure.

I will be sure to let you all know how it went...good news or bad.

I also find out about the Teacher Assistant Certification on the 22nd (unofficial online score anyway). That is even more exciting. Then I can get the ball rolling with interviewing and putting in applications to the local schools.

The anticipation is killing me people...wish me luck and say a little prayer for me.

These are the photos I chose to show (mind you, they are in their "raw form"):
