Several months ago I entered a contest to have one of my images in a calendar. Never heard anything back, not even a rejection letter…I am used to those! So life moved on and I forgot about it. But the day before yesterday I got an Email reminder about when and where to deliver my art for the Calendar Art Reception. When I returned the email, thinking perhaps a mistake had been made, my inquiry was returned with a copy of the acceptance email sent last month that I had never received…maybe during the hurricane power and internet outage. I deliver this morning and the opening is this Friday, where I will sign copies of my image along with 11 other artists. The image was accepted and has already been printed as the August calendar image. Oh by the way…I win 5 free copies of the calendar, but the future sales are for a good community cause. There was something maybe.... prophetic or just cathartic about associating my art, my life to the future...even if it is only a calendar.
