I made it into The Art Prize Contest. What a difficult Task. There is a lot more politics than I thought there would be.
This is my picture. I based it on the Wizard of Oz because that is what my life has felt like for the last 2 and 1/2 years.
Those who know me know that after surgery I thought I lost my brain. I struggled with verbal communication(aphasic). It was a new world and a new life I was no longer in Kansas.
I was afraid and angry and I withdrew into my art. Here I found a hidden talent that I did not know I had. I work with water color pencil on canvas and practice every day. Although I have given away many more painting than I have ever sold I have faith that someday I will be able to earn a meager living at it and pass it on to my grandchildren.
