Upcoming art show

[EvilCat Breath]

I have been invited to show my work in an upcoming, juried, art show.
I'm thinking about submitting two.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Since it's juried one, both or neither might be admitted.

Always a popular market for the first .
Good Luck .

They are both oil. I only use oil. I hope to do well. This is a new show so I don't know what the other artists do.

I have to bring the art pieces on Tuesday, then May 4 will be the judging. It's exciting. Of course, this isn't my first show.

Do you sell them?

Do you sell them?

Sure, if someone wants to buy one. I've sold many. I have done some commissions. VERY SELDOM. I do not normally do commissions. I do what I like. If someone wants it, okay.



This was a commission. A friend had me paint a picture of his doggie. This is Zulu On Christmas Day.

Impressive

If you have to choose between them I’d subit the second one

My submissions are limited to two for this show. One, both, or neither can be chosen. The one(s) chosen will be shown at the artist reception on May 4 and the winners will be announced. Third, Second, First and Best in Show. The pictures hang for 30 days them we pick them up. Any that were sold will go to the buyers. Both of these works are large 24x36. Not may people want something that large. But, you never know. Some people just want a print. I know many artists that just sell prints. They keep all the originals. Not me, you want it, you buy it. I can't imagine what people do with all those paintings if they never sell one! Once I did not win a single prize, nothing. Then I sold one for more than any other painting sold. Even the winners. So, you never know.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Both submissions were accepted. Here we gooooo.

I went thru the print phase.. on tiny 8 x 12.
I had drawn a cute schnauzer dog cartoon of my dog. and I slapped them on the internet- sold them cheap...
The cute part was- I met almost every Schnauzer breeder out there. LOL ha.
but I quit the print thing- because the local print shop was distorting the colors... just didn't work.

I wasn't sure which one. Thought so. OH then Congrats!!!

I made the newspaper once. know why? i entered an art contest in the 3rd grade.. the mailer had something written on it by the mailman.
It said" If you bend this you break a little girls heart"

Aw how sweet. There is another show in October. The theme is masks. Any kind of mask. I've been working on the concept of a theater mask on a table next to a red wig. A raven is looking down. I call it Mask of the Red Head Nevermore. I fiddled with the concept until 2am.

I hope it turns out. Not everything does. I just had to discontinue a vase full of iris flowers.
