Not Canvas

I usually paint on canvas. I have been doing paintings on Canson Mixed Media Pads lately. I haven't been able to get into the whole art journaling thing because I am too much of a perfectionist and I want the ability to hang my work if something turns out and not have it stuck in a book. But as you know then I don't as freely experiment as one would do knowing canvas is a bigger deal. So I decided to paint on the mixed media pads. Still not sure. Has anyone else had these problems with perfectionism and feeling you have to make something grand each time?

Certificate and Ribbon Fun

So as I posted before I won Honorable Mention for a mixed media piece I did and put into the Artability Art show a while back. Honorable Mention I found out is like third place without getting the cash prize that first and second place get! So I finally recieved them in the mail today, they had forgot to send them out to me. I felt like a robbed little child I wanted my ribbon, especially cuz Im just starting out and have only been painting for a year. Can anybody relate!!! LoL. So that child in me wants to share it with you guys!!!!!
