My first award!

[Nancy A Elwood]

Hi all. I was accepted into the Celebration Arts Festival, Celebration, Florida, which is going on this weekend, and last night received 3rd prize. My husband and I started entering art festivals last October and it has been a lot of work but very rewarding. This is my first award which is a good feeling and very nice for there are some of the bigger festivals, like the Disney Masters, I could not apply to until getting an award, so I am very pleased:D:D. This is the image that received the award. It is called The Aspens, taken in The Teton National Park. This is a link to my art festival booth, http://www.naturesportal.net/gallery/4900229_8abBQ/1/479337914_yYx6Y#479337914_yYx6Y My husband makes all the mattes and handmakes the hardwood frames.
