A few weeks ago I sent in my entries for the Paint America Top 100 Competition. For this competition artists submit landscapes representing a state, it could be their home state but it doesn't have to be. Finalists are chosen from each state. There is a category for large paintings and another for smaller size works. From the group of finalists 2 paintings are chosen from each state and thus you have Americas Top 100 landscapes, 2 representing each state. This exhibit of the top 100 landscapes will travel around the country for the next year. Yesterday I received a letter saying that all three of my entries had made it to the "finalist" category. WOW I never expected that!! I don't know if any of my pieces will be chosen to represent Connecticut, but I'm pleased to have been a finalist!!

Congrats Jan! These are really strong pieces. I think my fav. is path through the marsh. I really think you nailed the values in this one. Great atmospheric perspective.
As you know Jan, I Love your wetland paintings. Congratulatons on your finalist status and I wish you the best of luck with these entries...all three are Top-Notch!
Congratulations also on being mentioned in the NY Times...no small feat. You inspire me that hard work and dedication to one's artwork can result in accomplishment and just rewards.
