I also entered and was accepted into the show (148 were juried in out of an entry of 218) with my original of "It's a Big New World Out There" (see www.deedeemurry.com/dogs.htm). It also sold. This mixed media painting of a dachshund pup is about 13 x 17 and is available as prints.
An aside note, this was the first time in 18 yrs (I believe) of entering the Federal that I didn't get my entry done in time. I was happy with the ducks but struggled with the background as I did not have any reference for that and was trying to conjure it soley out of my head. It was looking good but then took a turn south when I tried airbrushing a new color of green over it. And not enough time then to fix it and finish.
I'll be starting earlier next year!
