Last night I was awarded a ribbon for "Tommy's Tom Tom". It took 3rd Place in the Watercolor Division at the Coppini Academy of Fine Art Members' Juried Fall Show of 2008. It was a beautiful show this year and many gifted artists entered their best works.
I painted this picture from a professional black and white glossy photograph of my father, Tommy Noll, taken in the '20's when he was a drummer in the big band era. Who would have thought at the time the photo was taken that it would be displayed at Coppini in San Antonio in 2008! I have always been proud of my Dad and painted him with love.

Congratulations, Marilyn! You do beautiful work.
Thank you. My dad would have got a kick out of this, for sure. I have a great painting of my Mom taken that same era. She is in a flapper outfit. I am going to enter her next time. Equal billing, you know.
