Anyway, I went into the gallery and started up a conversation with the woman there, who seemed very interested in seeing my work. Then the owner of the gallery came in, and he was also interested. So I gave them my website to view my portfolio, and also went home and gathered up some of my paintings to show them in person. I am very pleased to say that they will be displaying 5 of my paintings!
I've also been making progress on my Peacock paintings that I started at the art walk. Here is what is on my easel right now:
I was thrilled about the gallery, and I still am, although the person in my life who should have been most encouraging was absolutely not encouraging at all, and in fact seemed very irritated that I had taken time out of my day to bring paintings down to the gallery. Oh well, I guess some non-artistic people just don't get it, to me, getting my work in a gallery was far more important than the day's chores, or doing a load of laundry, or anything like that.
Thank you for reading! I welcome your suggestions on how to make this blog more interesting to you!
Congratulations on being accepted to the Gallery, that really is great news. Sorry you didn't find encouragement on this at home...may be someone had a bad day.
