Well, I have been a busy bee...seems like all deadlines come at one time. Society of Decorative Painters were invited by the Smithsonian Institute to reinterpret classic American artwork from the Renwick Gallery's Grand Salon in ornament form. I chose a work by Alice Barney, "Self Portrait with Palette". The ornament was to create present-day, decorative art reinterpretation of the painting. So here is my entry. Five hundred will be chosen to decorate the holiday tree in the Grand Salon 2009/10 holiday season. My entry is color pencil on wood. Hope mine is chosen. Will let you know.
