It's a busy time of year and I'm so blessed with the opportunities that have come my way in the past year. I dropped off three paintings for the PAAC show opening in Denver this coming Friday night. As I looked at the other art being dropped off I realized how incredible it was and just how lucky I am to have three paintings juried into this peer group.
In addition, I've been accepted to paint in the Plein Air Rockies 2013 in Estes Park Colorado. This event starts next week but participating artists were allowed two paintings to display / sell in a "Prelude show". This gives patrons an opportunity to see some of our finished work while we are out painting for the plein air show. I took two additional paintings with me on the day of the drop off and mentioned to the show chair I had extra paintings if they needed to fill more wall space, to which she replied "well, bring them in with the others and we'll take a look". After having unwrapped only two of the four she said "oh ya, we'll take all four!" This kind of positive affirmation about my work feels so wonderful. Let's face it, our family and friends will always offer kind words of encouragement but acceptance into juried shows, positive comments from strangers and of course, sales really provide me the unbiased feedback that says I must be doing something right.
I'll post more on these events as they come and go.
Thanks for visiting!
