Approximate...

This is the "award winning" piece from the VAST show! I won a $100 award. It's the 4th award, so I guess it's considered 4th place. I'm not sure...

Anyway, I'm excited!

Cathy, who teaches Sam's art classes, won best of show. Her piece is really cool.

The other Cathy was also there (the one I went to IKEA with yesterday). Here she is with her piece, titled Sticks and Stones:


Her piece was installed next to my piece. You can see the shadow from her piece on the image of mine above.

There was a lot of really good work in the show and it was nice that they put it in the bigger gallery this time. They also had some overflow work at Banter. So they had what they call a "progressive reception." After the mingling and awards at the art center, we all went to Banter for another reception. Not as many people went to Banter, but it was really fun. I broke my "no drinking before 5:00" rule (again!), so there's no telling what I said...

Got to talk to Mark. Here he is:


Here he is again, talking to Penny and Cathy:

It's hard to get a good shot of Mark, for some reason...
