Arte y Pico Award

I had a nice note while I was traveling. Lorrie Drennan nominated me for an art blogging award - the Arte y Pico Award. What is so nice about this concept is that it is a jury of one's peers essentially. And with so many fabulous artists in the blog world, its really a pleasure to be considered creative enough to receive a commendation like this. The info about the award and how to nominate other artists is farther below, but here are my Top Five favorites, based on their inspiring work and their blogging style. I could do so many more than five though.

David Lloyd
Mike Rooney
SC Shisler
Miro Sinovcic
Sharman Owings

And two more interesting blogs about art and the making of art: Uncle Paulie's World and ArtMaker.

FYI...The Origin of The Arte y Pico Award and Rules if you choose to accept.
You might be interested in the origin of the "Arte y Pico Award" The designer of the award puts it like this..."The Arte y Pico Award has arisen from the daily visits that I make to many blogs which nourish and enrich me with creativity. In them, I see dedication, creativity, care, comradeship, but mainly, ART, much art. I want to share this prize with all those bloggers that entertain and enrich me day to day. Doubtlessly, there are many and it will be hard to pick just a few."

The Rules:
1. You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award through creativity, design, interesting material, and also contributes to the blogger community, no matter of language.
2. Each award should have the name of the author with a link to their blog.
3. Award winners have to post the award with the name and link to the blog of the person who gave them the award.
4. Show these rules and the paragraph (above) explaining the awards origination.
