Tamami<p>I'm a member of Latimer Art Club, the oldest art club in the state of Nevada. (It has a pretty interesting history, but I will save that for some other time.) The club meets bimonthly, and one of the highlights in the February meeting that occurs this weekend is a mini painting exchange. I choose a painting I am proud of; maybe not what I LOVE, but proud to put my name on. So this is what I chose. <br>"Wintry Night" pastel on homemade surface, 5x7 in.<br><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/PastelArtist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PastelArtist</span></a></p>
Tamami<p>What a relief! The weather held until the reception ended. The event was successful and I am so grateful; to the people who came out, commented how much they liked the work, for the library for their support, for friends and family for their support. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://birds.town/@NevadaWolf" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>NevadaWolf</span></a></span> came ❤️ also some pilots who gave me permissions to use their aerial photos for reference. <br>The show runs until Feb 25, at Northwest Reno Library.<br><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/PastelArtist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PastelArtist</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/publiclibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publiclibraries</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtExhibit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArtExhibit</span></a></p>

Tamami<p>I'm wrapping up my 2024 with a celebration. I was just notified that my painting was selected as one of Honorable Mentions, Emerging Artist - Dakota Art Pastel Fourth Quarter contest. <br><a href="https://www.dakotapastels.com/content/2024-fourth-quarter-winners?preview=true" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">dakotapastels.com/content/2024</span><span class="invisible">-fourth-quarter-winners?preview=true</span></a> <br>There were about 650 entries in this category alone, and this is my very first time being selected for anything this major. </p><p>It's a view of behind the Huntsman Cancer Institute where I was taking a walk while husband was in a treatment. Makes it doubly special. <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/PastelArtist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PastelArtist</span></a></p>
