Mollie October 15th, 2007 Painting , Show

I received a letter from Art St. Louis telling me that my work has not been admitted into the XXIII Show. It was a standard form letter from the gallery (not the juror), at the bottom was a handwritten note saying that they loved my work and that I should contact them and set up something to exhibit my work at an off-site location. As one door closes another one opens! Now I just have to build up the nerve to contact them.

Jerry Thomas demonstrated alkyd oil paints at the Oak Leaf Meeting last week that really inspired me. Not only was he is a great artist, but friendly and down to earth; not to mention a fountain of information. Hell, I might even give oil paints another try. Apparently, he hosts an “Art Clinic” on Friday afternoons that I’m going to try and go to while I’m on vacation next week. Maybe I can get some feedback on how to create comic style art for some graphics I’m going to do for my husband’s video game.
