I decided to take the advice of Phebe Burnham, an artist (and great lady!) I met at the Descanso Arts and Crafts Fair and enter paintings in a
juried contest in Balboa Park, in Spanish Village. I remember so many late Sunday afternoons after going to the zoo when I would wander through the little studios that make up Spanish Village. It's a "mini" neighborhood, a collection of smaller than normal houses built during WWII to fool the Japanese into thinking they were actually higher up in the air than they were. This would have made them easier targets for guys on the ground to hit. San Diego at that time must have been amazing looking, covered in camouflage nets with neighborhoods painted on them and a few of these scaled down neighborhoods to add to the illusion.
Yesterday I mailed in my entry fee. I plan to enter two paintings in the 1 foot show and one in the normal show because the frame on that painting disqualifies it from the one-foot show. We take our paintings down there on March 1; they are judged in "real life" not from an electronic submission, and the reception for the winners is March 4.
