I've been busy with a lot of art show business lately. First, I entered and got two pieces (Hills of Long Forgotten Yesterdays and Fire Kopta @ Swiftcurrent Creek) in the 9th annual Panama City Artists Show and Sell juried show last month and attended the opening a few weeks ago. Immediately following that attendance I was notified that my art show at Tomatinos Pizza was moved from the middle of June to going up yesterday. So I spent the past two weeks preparing for that show, which included going back down to Florida to retrieve artwork and then having to frame a majority of it. The show went up yesterday and I am sharing the wall space with one other artist (they usually have three or four artists showing at a time) who is a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Although I had hoped to have all my work consolidated on one wall, it needed to be dispersed throughout the restaurant but I think things still looked quite good. Shortly after learning of my Tomatinos show date, I was also informed that the grand opening of a new cultural venue in downtown Montgomery was occurring soon (submissions are due this Saturday in fact) and I now need to begin preparing some prints for that. In the meantime, here are some photos of how my work appears on Tomatinos' walls.
5/18/10 update: Today after only two and a half days up, my watercolor Fence & Hay sold. I can only hope that this momentum builds...6/8/10 update: Had my most profitable single sale to date today. After a quick chat with some pizza patrons and an explanation behind the image, some nice folks bought Looking Into Dry Wash.
