The Good and The Bad

First for todays "positives".  My paintings at Art du Jour.  Was so happy to have some of my larger pieces up.

I almost tripped walking into the gallery when I saw my painting in the window.  I wasn't expecting that.  Nice surprise.

And I changed a few paintings at Organic for my final month of the exhibit.  Now for the "negatives".  Ugh, why do I let this stuff get to me so much?  My goal for 2012 was to submit for 5 different gallery exhibits.  I got two rejections in one day.  And one was from BAM, which is the art museum I really wanted to be part of.  The skin gets thicker and thicker...

Tonights Medford Art Walk

I love it when I pull out the paper and my name is in it.  :)  Doesn't happen often.  Anyway, tonight is Medford's friday art walk and my work is in three places downtown.  Art du Jour, Organic Natural Cafe and the Rogue Gallery.  I won't be there sadly, because there is no one to stay with Grams tonight, but I hope a lot of people stop in at the galleries to check out all the art and Organic for dinner!  The art work show in this article is by my close friend Boni Kettering.  So different than my style, but so beautiful.  I really respect artists who can do realistic plein aire paintings so beautifully.  I think if you paint what you love, it turns out.

Dandelions at Organic

Just hung January's exhibit at the Organic Natural Cafe in Medford.  It's all about Dandelions.  I love the graphic quality of them, symmetrical yet scattered.  The exhibit will be there through Jan 31, so visit when you have a chance.  They are open until 6 pm daily.

Organic Natural Cafe January Display

Organic Natural Cafe is closing down until January 3rd to have their floors redone.  Should like nice.  On  the night of the 3rd I will be hanging a new art display on the gorgeous old brick walls.  Theme will be Dandelions.  They have a "fireworks" look which I have decided will work well for the New Year!  Happy New Year, come check out the rest of the display at Organic Natural Cafe from January 4-January 31st.

Changeout at Organic Natural Cafe

Changed the art work at Organic Natural Cafe to tree and leaf themed paintings.  I want to hang all of my paintings on brick!
