Painting for Holiday Card Show?

Hi there, For the last several years I have entered paintings in a competition for a holiday card show. Representative Pete Beck chooses a painting to be his image for his holiday cards and the painting hangs in his office. Two years ago I won and was thrilled, such an honor. We can submit 3 paintings and this may be one of the 3 I submit this year. I will paint until I run out of time and choose when it gets closer, the reception is December 2nd. This is acrylic on a 11" x 14" stretched canvas. I read a wonderful quote today by Winston Churchhill that I thought really described the life of an artist. "In order to be happy you need to find a task that requires perfection, is impossible to achieve and spend the rest of your life trying to achieve it". Thank you for checking in on me. Hugs
