When I went to pick up my paintings yesterday from the Riverside County Fair – also the National Date Festival, I had a nice little surprise. Of the three paintings I entered, two came home with ribbons, and I came home with a nice little check. ‘The Setting Sun’ had taken an honorable mention in the Theme of the year, non-traditional, and ‘Gentle Storm’ had taken first place in the same category. Well, the theme of the year was clouds….

Two winners at the National Date Festival. Oooh, look at that big fat bow.
Well done Jeni ! Fantastic. If I entered an art competition the only prize I would get is a free eviction! Hope the cheque (check) was a nice big fat one- I would ask how much it was for but that would be far too indelicate!

I don’t mind – $40. Not a bank stuffer but it paid for the entries and the gas to get them there.
