Got Me a Spot in This World!

Yay! I had a great night last Friday at the Lewisburg Gallery stroll in PA. I sold 3 pieces!!!! And I was asked to leave my work on display as the in house artist!!!!!!

YAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

This makes 4 solid weeks in a row that I have consistenlty sold my art. It has been great! My friend BJ told my I have taken PA by storm!! It kind of feels that way.

Well, my next move is to figure out my next move. I am not going to be satisfied by having work in one place in one town. I am going to start looking into grants and fellowships and see what I can get. I would like to start a new series and I am thinking of sending some disks of my work to a couple of gallery's in other areas. I have this new series in my head and the pieces are bigger than I have done in the past 4 years so that will be a new challenge. I like working big I just have to be careful not to overdo the small details and make a painting that will take 2 years to complete and I will get bored with it before I am even halfway finished. People really responded well to the drawings I had up so this series is going to elaborate on them in color and paint. It should be interesting.
