Botticelli painted Flora (spring) welcoming Venus. Flora is about to cover Venus with a red oxide/orange cape. Well I painted Venus covering herself with that cape. I painted also the little pink flowers and I continued the painting on the sides.
This piece measures 6"x12" it is Acrylic on stretched canvas and has a crackelure effect.
My prior post is sad but I am already over it. I am a strong believer that when one door closes another better opens up. So everything has a reason in life.I am not quitting applying for shows. I will continue to do so. I know the market here is very competitive and rejection is part of the process.
I learn that The Bayou city Arts Festival, received 900 applications for only 300 spots. So I think it was a hard work for the jurors to reject artist.
Thank you for all your encouraging words, it meant a lot to me.
Hugs.

absolutely Adri.!! There will always be setbacks...in life as well as in artistic endeavours. Just keep plugging along.... you are being noticed!
don't forget, it is people doing this "jurying in" as they like to call it.... of the art and show pieces. BUT..... ....what is their criteria? how do they make their choices? it could even be eeny, meen, miny moe.... or they could be having a miserable day.... I've seen it happen....... and how many judges? ...and who? .. how old, how young? what is their background? etc... don't give it a second thought.... it is not worth the headache or the heartache. Just dust off and enter another one... and another....... it may be the most amazing choice of your life.........
It's a beautiful painting!!
