The LLANO ESTACADO ART ASSOCIATION 2010 FALL OPEN

THE LLANO ESTACADO ART ASSOCIATION 2010 FALL OPEN ART SHOW
took place on Saturday October 9th at the Lea county center for the arts. This was all new for me as i had just joined this association. I was told it was one of the oldest, most respected art associations in the state. This show was judged by LARRY WILCOX and there were ribbons and cash awards given. I told my husband Greg that I wanted to go even though I didn't expect to even receive an honorary mention, I fully expected the states best art to be there and I was eager to see it. I was right, the works were wonderful. When we got there I noticed right away where my paintings were, on opposite sides of the room, and we started making the rounds a piece at a time. Well, inevitably, I start chatting up some one and Greg and I get separated. Next thing I know, my laid back husband is dragging me across the room saying "look". It was RUBY, she's such a popular girl, she had taken the third place ribbon for Acrylics and Oils!!! For the first time in my life, I couldn't say a thing. Finally, excitement set in and I went out to call my sister, promptly dropped the phone on the cement and shattered the face of my I Phone. It was OK though, nothing could squelch my joy.
