Okay I haven't heard from "elite artists" club, I thought that they must have so many people trying to join, it was taking a long time to get back to everyone. Later, I looked on their member page and my icon was there! I assume that I must be a member. I think I'll try to submit a few things.

Oh, I got a note from the realism club. I told them that I'm not strictly a realist, I feel that I'm more of a magic realist. They looked at my gallery and told me that my style is not suited to the realism club. I think they're right. I would have been happy to be a member of that club and submit realist works BUT I'm just not a strict realist.

I think I'll apply to a few more clubs.

peace-out.
