Working on my figurative painting for the exhibit in March. Nearly done. I have my third painting completed and will post it later today when I get the photo printed.
Some more interest in the house lately. A few showings and some calls about the lot. It sure will be nice to get this place out of our hair. But, as long as things progress the way they have been and the plan continues, we won't be able to move to Calgary until summer when the kids get out of school so if the house goes before July I don't know where we'll live. But I don't want to think about that right now. I'll think about that another day.
Oh yeah. I emailed Grant Leier. He has kindly offered to critique my art and give me some direction and tips on marketing. What a nice break. I'm so happy and excited about this but also feeling scared. His paintings (and his wife Nixie Barton's paintings) are so ...well...successful. Mine just don't compare. But thank goodness art is subjective. Look at Jackson Pollock's drips. They are nothing, really, but a big mess and I love them and so do hundreds of other people. Rich people. One of his paintings sold for the most amount of money a painting has ever sold for. Millions of dollars. More than the most expensive Picasso. So don't worry about it, I keep telling myself. One day I will find my own personal Peggy Guggenheim to take me under her/his wing and get my art career going. Yeehawwww!!!!
