At least 7,000 artists enter their work into this show and it is the state fair in which over a million (I am not exaggerating the number here, its in a book that I have that contains all the fairs and shows that goes on in my area and it tells the attendance) people attend during the month that it goes for. And each artist could enter 2 pieces in each category. So, out of thousands mine was one that was chosen to be in the fair and this is the hardest one as mentioned before. My art is really taking off all of a sudden and everything is lining up perfectly. I don't know if I won any awards yet. If I do I will become even more manic. Something scary happened to my mom early this morning (around midnight) a pickup truck passed her and someone in the back of the truck was throwing huge rocks at cars. My mom's van got hit and it made a huge hole in the windshield. So we had it replaced and the insurance covered it 100%. These people who were throwing the rocks also did it to someone else and parked cars as well. And in a cow town you think you are safe. I guess not. I am happy that she wasn't hurt and the rock didn't go all the way through or else she could have died. I pray these people get caught and put in jail for a long time. They could cause an accident or even kill someone by doing this. That would be neat if my picture sells ( a lot of them do over there) and it is of an Alaskan scene and is priced at $1,200. That is what the gallery I am in said it is worth because of the size and how long it took me to do it. It is an amazing drawing. Next year I am planning on doing a lot more fairs (even though I got in this one, no artist alive is accepted in everything they enter. Not even the greatest artist in the world, Wyland. In case you don't know his work, he is the one that does the dolphins and whales and does huge murals of them on walls all over the world. Oh, by the way he is coming to my area (in Seattle- not where I live- I live around 50 miles away from Seattle- next month and the gallery owner over there is planning something special for me and Wyland when he comes on September 12th. I will give him a print of my newest oil painting which is of a killer whale jumping out of the water with clouds in the background) I CANT WAIT!! !! I AM SO EXCITED!! I am only 25 and the gallery owner said that I am ahead of Wyland when he was my age and right now I don't know how old he is but he is a multi millionaire! I love wildlife! So, both good and bad happened today, we had a scare but it turned out OK. I AM MANIC!! !! !! !! !! I am going to change the world forever and rule it!! !! ! Oh no! Grandiose delusions!! !! We're all going to die now because of it! That is all for now.
