framed!

I'm framing my linocuts to go up in the bike shop:-)

On a more exciting note, I got a call on Friday from a board member of a community theater group in Strongsville, Ohio. They're doing a play and want to use one of my cityscapes for a backdrop! Whoa! The guy was really nice (a community theater person in Ohio- how bad could he be?) and said that he'd Googled "cityscape" and found some ok stuff, then found my work and had the "wow" moment. well, schucks! He made my day! I wholeheartedly gave him permission to use my work and tweak it as neccessary for turning something 6x6 inches into 8x16 feet, and they'll give me a whole page in the program about me with contact info & all that! Holy advertising, Batman! I asked if he'd send me some pix of the set, and he agreed to that & offered to send me a DVD of the production! What a great start to me Friday!! He was as happy for my go-ahead as I was with the recognition! Wowie wow!!

And I sold a painting from etsy to an international buyer...

And I have a piece in the CAP Art Evening and Auction...

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Oh, and I applied to Froelick's Oregon at 150 landscape show. I submitted my Front Ave inspired cityscapes as well as some of the red toned landscapes I did a couple of Septembers ago inspired by the drive through Banks. I wrote a damn good artist's statement, if I say so myself, so I'm hoping that my 100% Oregon paintings make it:-) At the very least, it's a great opportunity to submit my work (and two kinds!) to a gallery I have much respect for.
