How fantastic it was to have my three art entries accepted for Orlando Museum of Art’s 1st Thursday, May 1, 2014 Exhibition:”Inside/Out.” This link leads to the story explaining the unusual inspiration and basic steps of their creation. http://bobbimastrangelo.com/MyNews/?p=4040
On May 1st, we loaded the art works and delivered them to the Museum early that morning. We went home to relax. Actually I could not relax. I must admit to being extremely excited inside and out because I thought my art was so suited to the exhibition theme of “Inside/Out.”

When we returned for the Evening Reception, we were pleased that the art was displayed handsomely, museum style. Notice the construction and side detail of the center “Florida Storm Sewer.”
“Inside 52GA-R” “Florida Storm Sewer” & “Victorian Cover”
“Inside 52GA-R” wins “BEST of SHOW” at
Orlando Museum of Art’s “Inside/Out” Exhibition 5/1/14
I guess you can say this is my favorite view of the art winning a Blue Ribbon. If I was euphoric for being accepted into the competition, then I was riding high with this award: “Best in Show!” Everyone who wished me luck aided in my good fortune.
“GRATE NEWS!”
