Painting accepted into Sacred Art Festival

One of the seemingly never-ending jobs of an Artist nowadays is the endless search, apply, accept/reject of work. I have had a number of rejections, its just part of it, but I am happy to say this one was accepted.

"Mamika" (mother)- accepted to the Springfield Liturgical and Sacred Arts Exhibition in May

I came across the "Liturgical and Sacred Arts" festival in Springfield, Illinois, in one of Ben's Clay Times magazines.  So, being completely fascinated with sacred art and the essential role it plays in life, I thought this piece that I had made previously seemed to fit this theme perfectly, and indeed it did! Maybe I will even try to attend the festival, it must be very interesting....
