My last thread was hijacked and sent to a page not found.

I have closed instead of fixing so that Support can see it and sort out the person doing the coding on the threads.

So, please add your good news here :))))

If you were the last on the other thread please repeat here :)

Therese Alcorn

An image of this painting will soon be gracing the labels of specialist Italian bakery products in Sydney, Australia. Special thanks to FAA and Google's search engine! When the business owner searched "Ancient Mills", my painting came up on the first page and grabbed his attention.

Barbara Moignard

Congratulations, Therese!

Abbie Shores

Did he agree to pay for it?

Joshua House

How many loaves did you settle on?

Therese Alcorn

Hey, this thread is working again - great!
Barbara, hi and thanks very much for the congrats!
Beth, yes we've come to a mutually acceptable arrangement. Advice from the forum is very much appreciated!
Haha, Joshua - not that kind of bread - lol!

Vivian ANDERSON

Krista May

Carol McLagan

Wow Therese how proud you must be. I remember the excitement I felt when The committee for Camp Creative (summer school for the arts in Bellingen NSW) asked if the could put my painting on the cover of their brochure which went Australia wide as well as their web page for 2010.

Carol McLagan

I sold this one a couple of days ago

Therese Alcorn

Thanks very much for the congrats, Viv & Carol! That's a might splendid gum tree and rooster, Carol! What a wonderful achievement! So, congrats to you too!!

We have so much awesomeness going on... A couple weeks ago, we were awarded "Best in Show" at DigiTech 2012 in Tallahassee, FL. We've also been nominated as "Best Illustrator" of 2011 by the Steampunk Chronicle and we'll find out on Tuesday if we won!


(Our display at DigiTech 2012)

We've also just gotten confirmation about a few more shows accepting our work, bringing our show total over 30. ^_^

Plus the two parts of MANDEM (Moco & Maize) are celebrating our 15th anniversary on May 1st!

Jeanne Wood

Congratulations everyone :)

Yesterday, I learned that I received a grant from the local arts council (Kamloops Arts Council). I am very excited as it will be used towards purchasing art supply kits for local children that are part of a charity that I am working with. We are planning to exhibit some of the pieces the children create with these kits in their own group show next year. Waiting to hear back from the two art supply companies I put donation requests into for this project as well; fingers crossed. This will be so much fun; can't wait to see what the kids come up with and to view their show :)

Edit: Here's a link about the show for those interested: BKR Made With Love Project

Clara Sue Beym

Had shingles last week and it hurt like hell... But I did a new painting.. and entered it in a local show.

And now I am back to work and feel better.:)

Jani Freimann

I got this painting accepted into the 72 Northwest Watercolor Society International Show that will be held in the Seattle Design Center in Seattle, Washington. A difficult show to get into. I was one of 80 accepted out of 400 entries.

Marlene Burns

my granddaughter has an abstract artist as artist in residence at her school this week. he kicked off the week with a slide presentation of 'famous' abstract artists.
one of my paintings was in the group and he announced my name.
so that's not the good news..the good news is that my sweetheart munchkin announced that i was her gramma!

Therese Alcorn

I entered this painting recently in the Inaugural Toowoomba Japanese Group Arts & Culture Competition and won 1st prize in the General Public Section! Prizes included a wonderful evening at an upmarket restaurant with reps from the Toowoomba Regional Council and our Japanese Sister City, as well as an engraved medal, certificate and gift voucher to a local art supplies store. I was absolutely thrilled to receive this honour.

4-10-13,
I've been contributing to MPT (Maryland Public Television) - "Capture Outdoors Maryland". Today, a recent image upload was selected as "The Photo Of The Day"...

Angel Ortiz

well my exhibition still goin on

Carl Rolfe

great composition Brian, the light behind makes the shot ....... good luck Angel with exhibition

my good news is my latest interview in the French magazine "Urban" http://factory-3.com/2013/03/entretien-avec-carl-rolfe-la-photo-digitale/
in French but right click over article and you can use google translate, bit dodgy translation, but hopefully you'll get the gist

Jason Christopher

Nice one Carl, it looks amazing!

My lost ipad is being returned to me having been found at an airport.. .. thank you lost and found people! and the person who handed it in!

summer is about to arrive this weekend. phew. ( ( ( (((((((((((( O )))))))))))))) ) ) )

Peggy Collins

Two of my photographs have been shortlisted for a special edition of Canadian Geographic magazine, yay!

Thomas Zimmerman

I am on pace to triple sales year over year from last year to this year so far. Finding some niche ways to market, and so far my plan to carve out a little more time from our portrait and wedding business to focus more on the art photography is working. I have also booked 4 regional art walks, and am going to try to show my work at a trade show or two. My good news is that steady high quality work is starting to produce returns for me.

Angelina Vick

A sale! =D

http://fineartamerica.com/saleannouncement.html?id=8b9f455dd0efe616b6be13e6e3f7207f

Brenda Brown

I won $100.00 from my art group "Harbourside Painters of Canada" to put towards upcoming classes at Coast to Coast in Mississauga.

Marty Saccone

I may not have sold anything on FAA as of yet,...but I received an interesting email,
that the accompanying photo will be featured in "Down East" magazine's summer issue.

A wonderful thrill for this photographer since the majority of my work focuses on the Down East Maine experience.

I've been working for two years on a self assignment at this location (Quoddy Head State Park) to improve my photographic seeing and vision.
The majority of my FAA portfolio reflects some my efforts.
Am honestly humbled having one of my images recognized.

An image of this painting is going in a watercolor book called Splash 15 Creative Solution. Don't know when the book will be published yet.

Heather Hennick

Good news update:I recently won an honourable mention for my newest line of fibre art- in a juried art show. I have been asked to facilitate a speaking engagement for a gang of PHD's and demos and art workshops and art therapy workshops at a conference. I have a permanent part time job at a hospital as a art therapist. This is all GOOD news and I am so grateful.
