It is very affirming and inspiring to have any of my art featured, so I was especially thrilled to find BOTH of my flower pencil drawings featured together on the front page of this group Quality Art and Photography on Red Bubble! Pencil Dahlia has been featured 4 times in the past two days and Pencil Rose has been featured twice, so I must be doing something right with those color pencils lol!
On Fine Art America I received a comment on my John Lennon painting congratulating me for a contest win. Lol, I don't think I would have even known if not for reading it there!
The contest was called "Musician Art". Here is the link to the leader page where you can view the placements of all the art that was submitted (some wonderful stuff!) My painting tied with two others for the top three placements.
Both RB and FAA have several challenges or contests where you can submit artwork that fits with a particular theme created by the group or host. When any of my art fits the criteria I'll usually enter it. On RB it is easy to keep track of them all because they appear in the default feed, but on FAA, the only way (that I've found so far) is to go to the contest and look at the tab for your own submission. Maybe it was in a feed somewhere and I missed it, I don't know for sure, but I was completely surprised and delighted!
RB has been very active in the past couple of weeks, 'Bono' got another feature on May 29, 'Two Tulips' got it's first May 15, 'Boats In Sunlight' received four more, including a permanent feature page here: The Alphabet Marathon on May 19.
Two of my photos have been featured; 'View From Mayne Island' got it's first on May 22 and 'Poppy Close Up' on May 26 and 27th. It also came in second place in a RB contest redbubble.com/poppies-and-orchids-challenge.
I think that about covers it for now... back to the drawing board!

Joined Zazzle, new features and 'Two Tulips' added
Well I figured I might as well expand my online reach a little bit more and signed up at Zazzle.com. For those of you unfamiliar with Zazzle, it is a venue for 'store owners' to upload designs which can be printed on various items and clothing on demand. I will post a link once I've got my first store all set up and ready for visitors.
Meanwhile, I spent most of last weekend scanning various forgotten drawings and art that has been sitting in my portfolio case. Much of it likely won't make it online, but some is worth preparing for upload.
I have decided to put less energy into maintaining my profile on Image Kind, since I have been reading in the forums that there is a genuine concern by members of a poorly designed internal search engine in place. Even though IK offers high quality prints (some say among the best), this search issue is a problem since other unrelated images appear first a lot of the time (even if searching with the exact keywords). As a free member it is doubly hard to get noticed since we are only allowed limited categorization and keywords and the poorest placement in the search hierarchy to start with.
I'm very content with maintaining Fine Art America, Red Bubble and The Untapped Source however :)
There are a few more features to mention since last week; 'Bono' got it's second feature on FFA yesterday in http://fineartamerica.com/groups/realistic-portraiture.html and 'Tillie' got her first feature on FAA today in http://fineartamerica.com/groups/shelter-dogs.html. 'John Lennon' has been featured four times since my last post (to view the groups, please see the links posted under the painting on the 'Paintings' page).
This morning I added 'Two Tulips', which is a 9" x 12" acrylic painting on canvas:
