I Think I’m A Real Artist Now

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

My head has been in the clouds today. My art was accepted by our local arts council to be included in the Jailhouse Art Gallery (Morganton, NC) December’s Art Sale.
Wheee! I’m so happy. If you are in the local Morganton, NC area, please come by to the opening reception of the December Art Sale at the Jailhouse Art Gallery on Thursday, December 3rd, 5:00 – 7 pm.

I just realized that my art will be in two art galleries this December. In addition to the Jailhouse Art Gallery showing where I’ll fill 8′ by 8′ of wall space with my art, I also have a submission in at the Art House Gallery, located at 309 Peters St, Atlanta, GA 30313. The submission at the Art House Gallery is a one day show on December 11 as part of the “10,000 people interpret one word project”. The word was Chair. My submission was Rejection At Twilight. Should I be lucky enough to win some sort of honors, this piece would be included in a limited edition art book.

This is weird feeling. I think I’m a “real” artist now.

Good thing I’m getting my own space for a studio in the 3rd bedroom. It looks like I need to get back to painting!

Testing the MckLinky Blog Hop

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

The MckLinky Blog Hop has a theme this week called “SHOW OFF YOUR ART”.
This blog hop is a chance to show off some art. Since my blog is about art, I thought I’d test this linking thing here. Supposedly a link to my blog will be included in the list below, along with other artists. Just testing.

This is an ACEO oil painting I’ve created for, and shipped to, the past winner of the Cindy Douglass Artist Facebook fan page contest. Another drawing will be held when this page reaches 250 fans, and the art will be custom made to the winner’s likes.
