Its so nice when such a well-deserved award reflects years of hard work, dedication, and commitment, not to mention originality and inspiration.

Nice little piece that the NPS did on me as a result of being the Petrified Forest National Park's Artists-in-Residence Art Show Winner. The image reproduction leaves a bit to be desired. I will try and get that replaced. But I am definitely honored by this.

[Rafal Lukawiecki]

Congratulations, well deserved. I second your feelings about the presence, and the draw of those spaces.

[Kirk Gittings]

Very, very nice .... That's gotta make you smile!

After reading your words, though ... I think you should change your Frost quote to: " ... I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."

Congratulations

Indeed. Thank you!

[Kirk Gittings]

Thank you all so much for the kind words!

[Old_Dick]

Well done, congratulations. Much deserved. Glad you are part of this forum.

[Winger]

Congratulations! Definitely well-deserved.

ps - where in AK were you born? I'm curious because my bio would start out - Born in Alaska, but raised in central New York State...

[Kirk Gittings]

Bethe, I was born on Fort Richardson Army Base, which was where Elmendorf Air Force Base is today I believe. Then (1950) it was north of Anchorage but I'll bet now is part of Anchorage.
