So I made it into the Art & Labor show- my second juried show acceptance- yeay!
Here's the blurb: http://portlandcityart.org/2009/06/26/art-labor-the-labor-of-art/ There aren't any pics of my stuff, but OH MY GAWD the artists I'm sharing walls with a freakin' incredible. Keeping fingers crossed that something sells... the opening was a lot smaller than I'd expected. BUT KC Cowan was there!! She's half of the Oregon Art Beat crew- EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I spoke with her (she's approachable and very nice), she said she liked my work (EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!) and I gave her my card. If nothing else, KC Cowan has seen my work, likes it, and has met me. Have I mentioned EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!?
I'm painting new ones now (I've ben showing the same damned ones for 2 years). I'm excited to have something new- the backgrounds are very different. I'd show you what I'm doing but our scanner isn't on speaking terms with our computer. I'll have to take photos. I've also had the thought to put more skyscrapers in there- real ones. Or at least inspired by real ones. I've traced some new & funky buildings from all over the world, and want to put my favorites in the background- a little Detroit, a little Tokyo, a little Paris.I'll have the whole world in my paintings. Then I'll do the smaller buildings where people live in the front, as always. This just makes the city bigger, and the gap between the haves & have nots more profound.
