I listened to a video Mark MeHaffey created stating how he judged the exhibition.  He had four criteria; First, and miles above the other three, was that he needed some kind of connection to the work  – be it emotional or intellectual.  This connection was, he stated, always in the content of the work, the emotional, aesthetic appeal of the work.  Second, design was important, using the elements of principles of design. Third, the technical ability of the artist – how does the artist handle paint, brush, paper and water? He stated that this one was not very important because he felt that if artists were entering international exhibitions they knew how to handle all these things.  Fourth, he would find himself thinking “damn I wish I would have thought of that, or done that.”  What a treat to listen to his criteria for judging an international exhibition – and what a treat that he related to my work “Cliff”  this way.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Christine Alfery","offers":[{"title":"Original","offer_id":32172749324341,"sku":"","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/3679\/5445\/products\/cliff.jpg?v=1603050986"},{"product_id":"candle-light-dinner-interlude","title":"Candle Light Dinner\/Interlude","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAbout:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eCandle Light Dinner \/ Interlude, 40 x 30\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOriginal water media on paper - Sold\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eDistinction:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Interlude” was just accepted into the Texas Watercolor Societies National Exhibition.

Capes are very interesting things – when I did my research on them seeing how others had created them, made them flow – made them magical. I must have filled 50 pages of sketches imagining this cape and in the end like all my other work it ended up completely different than I imagined it. This is part of my “Memories” series.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen I was a little girl I had this very lacy old skirt of my moms that she let me play dress up with. I had a whole trunk filled with dress up clothes that would fill my afternoons will magnificent imaginary places. But the very lacy old skirt was one of my favorites it was filled will brilliant colors and when I wasn’t a fancy lady going to a ball I would don the skirt and present it was a magical cape that would allow me to do unrealistic feats that I would dream up in my imaginary castles and fairy houses and playgrounds. We didn’t have a TV until I was about 10 years old, and then it was a 10×10 black and white television in a big fancy piece of furniture. No bigger than a radio. My most favorite TV show – well one my parents would let me watch was Howdy Duddy Time with Clarabelle the clown and The Ed Sullivan Show. Not having a TV when I was young was a wonderful thing as I created my own playgrounds and imagine my own fun. I would don my magical cape filled with glorious lace and color and wave my sparkly wand while wearing my magical cape and magically travel to anyplace I could dream of.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Christine Alfery","offers":[{"title":"Original","offer_id":32184744181813,"sku":"","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/3679\/5445\/products\/themagicalcape.jpg?v=1603481025"},{"product_id":"totem","title":"Totem","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAbout:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTotem, 22 x 30\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eUnique watermedia painting on paper\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eGiclee print on paper\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatured image in blog, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/christinealfery.com\/blogs\/blog\/how-does-one-find-self-and-art\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHow Does One Find “Self” and “Art?”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eDistinction: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eRegional Exhibition.
