The piece I submitted (well one of the pieces at any rate) for VASE (artsy competition) is one of the ones they picked to advance to state!! They picked like...8 ( I think) out of 70 something...(I think it's more than that actually).
I feel uberly happy since I really liked this piece and spent a lot of time on it. (this piece looks a lot better in person). The thing below is a picture I took of it.
Made with pastels in case you were wondering.
