Fleeting Imagination, 18"x14," oil on panel, ©Lynn Goldstein, $800

Having lived in the Washington, DC area for decades, I have visited the Torpedo Factory Art Center more frequently than I can begin to say. Between taking classes, visiting artist studios and showing my work in juried exhibitions there, I have spent countless hours at this artist's mecca. 

For years I have also considered throwing my canvas into the ring to become a part of the Torpedo Factory Artist's Association. That said, I knew that being accepted was not an easy task. Fear played a role as it often has when I was faced with the clear-eyed possibility of rejection. 

In fact, I experienced that rejection a few years ago when I applied. Didn't even make it through the "first round" in the battle. 

This time was different. The art goddesses smiled on me, and I recently received my acceptance. I am thrilled.
