Good day Everyone and what a good day it is!!
This morning I got the fantastic news that my two watercolor paintings that was preselected to the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours 206th Exhibition got ACCEPTED!!
Oh my gosh, am I dreaming!?

My two paintings that will be part of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours 206th Exhibition!
I've wanted to exhibit my work in London since I was a young teenager and it's finally happening!!
The opening of the exhibition will be on April 6th at the Mall Galleries and I hope as many of you London Steemians will be able to attend! <3
This whole thing still feels so unreal as getting my paintings over from Portugal to England turned out to be quite the nightmare! At one point I didn't even think they would make it to be part of the final round of judging after the UPS driver that did the pickup FAILED to mark Saturady delivery on my shippment form and made my work arrived two days late to the gallery.
In other words, this weekend has been a couple of stressful, frustrating days with a lot of phone calls and e-mailing. Thanks to an extremely sweet and understaning man named Chad at the Mall Galleries though, it all worked out in the end!!
Today is for sure celebration day! <3
So I just felt like sharing these amazing news and I hope that you all are having a wonderful and creative day!
