show put on by the San Fernando Valley
Arts and Cultural Center in California,
in 2022 at this time. Virtually.)
I'm working on refining work for the next show at the
Heliconian -- Primary opening June 27. And I found this
post that reminded me of a time when I got brave enough
to create my own art award. I loved that I could
offer a personally created award to all of the artists I knew.
The good news is that the painting sold -- which is super.
Here's some of my thinking about the award.
"Suddenly I remembered this -- The Happy Art Award. Actually
The Barbara Muir Happy Art Award -- a kind of Oscar
for artists designed by me. But why me you ask? And why
not? I reply. I thought it up one day in response to the many
blog awards going around at the time, and sent it out to all
the artists on my blog list.
Forgive me now, but if you're reading this, you have won the
award, and one day when I am very rich (let that be soon!)
there will be a monetary prize attached. But for now to all
my artist friends, collector friends, art appreciator friends,
art inspiring friends, galleries, and art show curators, writers
-- to everyone in short who helps me get this job of art done
-- you win my lovely award. Your art, friendship, support
makes me happy and that's why you win!"
I think in a world that is making so many of us feel tense and worried
there has never been a more important time to help one another feel
happy if at all possible."
Thank you one million times over.
Have a loving your life day!
