For the first time ever we have a 2-time winner of Artist of the Month. Congratulations to Madison A., for achieving this great accomplishment. Madison has been our best artist thus far and she could win this coveted award many more times, but we have to be fair to all of our artists.
Madison, age 11, has about 3 more sailboats hanging on the "Wall of
Fame" that are very well done. She won a prize pack from Sconda for winning
twice and I sent her a note encouraging her to keep at with her wonderful
artistic abilities.
We actually had a customer ask our receptionist, "Who picks the Artist
of the Month?", because she didn't think one of the winners was that
great and that Scott Honda should "get serious about picking these
winners"…true story.
Well, naturally I got a little defensive for our budding Bob Ross's
and I decided I should make a note on each previous winners sailboat so people can really
see how great all of the winners have been. The prior winners now have a little yellow square in the corner of their masterpiece that reads "Previous Artist of the Month Winner"
We have had over 300 colorings done and one of those could cause a little controversy. Now my wife can verify that I had conversations with people, prior to this particular coloring,
about the slurred pronunciation of our wonderful dealership, hence
"Sconda". But this drawing, by a young man named Jason, was the first I know of to put Sconda in
writing. He even explained it at the top…just great
stuff. If anyone knows who this young man is, please let us know, he deserves a Scott Honda
sweatshirt for his genius work.
