Oh dear, Sylvia....don't end it all. Er....I got one accepted and not the one I thought had the best chance...."Autumn Flame" is the title. I've had two massive G and T's to celebrate.

Have a couple of G & T's to commiserate Silv. Just think of the money you have saved by not having to physically present your picture. All too much hassle for me.

Didn't try; never do; sure it's nothing personal, and I could quite believe they don't appreciate great art even though Marjorie has been accepted and has hit the Mother's ruin in consequence. You see, Sylvia, you've been spared an alcohol dependency problem! Always look on the bright side!

I get tipsy just thinking of G & T. Better luck next time Sylvia. Well done Marjorie.

That's tough Sylvia particularly as it was I who encouraged you to have a go. I'm over at my little casa in Spain for an extended vacation so I sent word over to my daughter to check my mail yesterday and yes I have had an oil painting accepted. I've not been posting anything for quite a while as I'm 'burned out' and in need of some inspiration, hence my rather rapid departure from the UK a few weeks ago. Well done Marjorie and I do hope that we have a few more to add to the list shortly.

Didn't get accepted but didn't submit anyway so to hell with it - I'll join you in a G&T - Blackwoods plus Fever Tree, plenty of ice and a generous slice of lemon.

Sylvia, I could do a monotype of that image. That would be interesting! I have checked our PO Box and there is nothing there. I suppose I had better contact the office so to speak. They notify all, one way or the other, having had my rejection letters in the past! I'll keep you posted ... ha ha.

Well, my faith in kindness has been restored. After I had explained the reason for my woe of not getting my letter, I returned to the Sorting Office just on the off chance that more post had been sorted for our PO box. The chap I had spoken to had checked the miss sorts and there it was. It might as well have stayed there for all the good it has done me. Another rejection letter. Oh well, never mind. As I said in another post "It's all in the eye of the beholder."

Sylvia, the French Impressionists started an alternative exhibition when they were constantly rejected by the Paris Salon in the 1870's. Sadly the difference in my case has something to do with talent, or the lack of, so a mere alternative venue is unlikely to help!

I'm sure my pc has some hidden away - but my life is complicated enough. By the way, I keep getting little square boxes on texts from family and friends - does anyone know what they mean? Are they endearments? I feel foolish asking them!
