AWS Winning News
The American Watercolor Society has been sending letters to award recipients. Up to now, we have heard that Mark Mehaffey won the AWS SILVER MEDAL OF HONOR award for (a.) ‘Blue Monolith’ and
Donna Zagotta (on our schedule to be filmed in April) won the SAMUEL LEITMAN award for (b.) “This Way”. We know that other CCP artists may have received awards but have not heard from them directly, therefore, we feel uncomfortable posting the news just yet.
On a personal note, I used to think people who won these awards were somehow different … anointed with special extra talent. Through our association and friendship with these artists, I’ve learned that they are ’simply’ hard working artists who have STUCK WITH IT and nurtured what talent they have!! There is no magic formula. Congratulations to all “¦ we are delighted to see them receive the accolades they totally deserve.
