I know it’s been a while since my last newsletter.
I’ve got a full eight weeks of recuperation from a total knee replacement, and it’s time to get back to the real world.
Besides therapy, I spent the time well, getting all my upcoming projects in order. Very grateful to have time on my easel, painting with oils, which brings me to the favor I’m asking from each and every one of you. One of my paintings, entitled “Esther”
(gratefully named after my cousin JoAnn’s granddaughter, Esther, who took the great inspirational photo of this seagull) was selected to be in a juried art show at the JAG Gallery in Key West. This represents a true milestone in this last branch of career addition of becoming an oil painter. I promised myself that if and when this ever happened, I would be there in person to see the piece hanging on the wall.
Last weekend, Hans and I travelled for a weekend visit to the gallery in Key West and its opening reception of the show, Small Works. Pieces entered could be no bigger than 10” x 10”.
It is both exhilarating and humbling to start realizing a dream, and being aware of just that fact.
So, the big ask? There is a People’s Choice award for favorite artist and a girl can only dream, and ask for help. So, I’m asking you to vote for me.
Technically, to do so is to email [email protected]. The subject line should read People’s Choice Small Works. The copy should be Sharon Leichsenring “Esther”. Only one vote per person is allowed. I am thanking you in advance, sincerely from the bottom of my heart if you would take a few moments to do this if you feel we have connected over my art journey over the years. Voting ends this coming Friday on November 16th. Key West has its own magic and even though I’m no summer person, its beauty was not lost on me.
And a little share of the project I started on my first week back to the mural painting world. It’s going to be a beauty.
As always, thank you for your time and support.
