Deb Leger has taken first place (aka Member's Choice) award in the latest Flower of the Month Show at EBSQart, a group in which she is a lifetime member. The Flower of the Month Show in question was Begonias. Deb's photograph, called Fiery Heart was a macro shot. While usually entering paintings in the EBSQart shows, this time she entered a photograph. This is Deb's seventh ribbon at EBSQart and it also included a $50 cash prize. Her EBSQart portfolio may be seen at http://www.blogger.com/ while her website can be seen at http://www.deborahlegerartist.com/ .


What is EBSQart? EBSQart is a large online 'colony' of artists. The home page can be found at http://www.ebsqart.com/ . There are two ways you can join, either as a patron member (which is free) or as an artist member (which costs $7.50 per month, or $78.00 per year). Membership as a patron gives you voting rights at the site in the (at least) three shows held every month. Membership as an artist member gives you your own url pages for an online portfolio, access to the online community of EBSQart, access to the many shows, etc. In EBSQart's own words, "EBSQ Self-Representing Artists is not your typical artists' website. We're passionate about empowering artists, and we hope it shows! To that end, we've combined an online arts community atmosphere with easy-to-use tools that we've developed in-house to give our artists the edge via DIY Marketing. Members can have an online presence within minutes of joining, and have access to resources that come from being part of a community of our size. We think you'll enjoy the difference!"
