On Artists Judging Their Work...
This painting got the most "Likes" I've ever gotten posting in the Watercolor Sketchers group on Facebook, thirty-five and still counting, yet it's a work, one in a series, that I'd put to the side as maybe not good enough for posting on my art blog.

Last summer I entered a work in the "Squares" show at the Port Clyde (Maine) Art Gallery, Browns Headlight Vinalhaven Study II, (details on this blog HERE) also one in a series that I'd deemed not good enough and hadn't posted it on my art blog. Imagine my surprise when it was selected as Best in Show!

Artist's evaluating their own work? You never know.
