Survival was entered into the competition at the Kern County Fair. That year there was no category that included animals, so I had to compete against portraits. I was awarded an Honorable Mention and told by the two Laguna Beach judges that if there had been an animal category I would have received Best of Show. I was very disappointed and discouraged. I got over it. The name of the painting and it's reason I will leave up to the observer to understand it meaning. This painting was painted during the late 1970's earthtone furnishing craze. Now it hangs over the fireplace in the recent earthtone craze.
