Show Theme:   The theme for this show is "Paint the Joy of Life".  Life is too short to let it pass quickly and not appreciate the moments of joy that we can have. The show theme is meant to inspire paintings that show us how to remember and hold the joy of life. 

Submit your paintings where light and color signify life and joy.
