I am so pleased to announce that my work is now being represented by *drum roll*
The Collector's Gallery of Art
Click on the image above to view their newsletter, and to find my work and bio on their website.
This gallery, and gallerist, is so far an excellent fit for me.
Case in point: when asked if I would like to schedule a future solo show, I replied that I don't make my best work under deadlines. In fact, from a purely creative standpoint, I prefer when nothing is selling and nobody cares what I do (so to speak), because then I can do whatever I want! Not: so many paintings by such-and-such a deadline.
What I want is excellence. Just that. But, that.
To which this lovely gallerist replies: no problem, how about you bring us paintings from time to time and we'll keep a few aside every now and again, and when we have enough set aside we'll put on a show for you.
No pressure! I'm sure my shoulders visibly relaxed. Yep, I'm one of those people *laughs*
It's been such a long time since I posted to this blog. I've a feeling things will continue to be intermittent over here, as I seem to have shifted most of my images and thoughts over to *gasp* instagram! (hereafter referred to as i-g) Link in sidebar.
i-g: I'm gonna, it's groovy, it'll getcha. ... iguana.
Thank you dear Reader, for reading. Your interest in my work is, always and ever, so appreciated.

I get all of it. And I would love a gallery like that. Especially now it seems more important
than ever to feel my way through my work. And that is a process that takes time. Plus
isn't it okay if art takes time. They didn't ask for updates on the Cistine Chapel every day!
Love your work. And I seem to be over on I.G. more too. The design is good. But I love
coming here too, where you can read more, and see more.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO Barbara
Dear Barbara,
Thank you so much for your thoughts. I hope you find a gallery like the Collector's!
And you are so right, art does take time, and the search for excellence cannot be rushed, or even monitored by outside eyes during its development. (although I have read about the great artists of the past fighting with their patrons over exactly that)
Yes, i-g is good, for what it is.
I love your work too, and your spirit.
Thank you so much for your thoughts.

So happy to see a blog post this morning! I've noticed more pople (including myself) popping back over to blog a bit more often. I always enjoy your posts.
Thanks Diane! Yeah, blogging is satisfying in a different way than the other medias... slower I think. Not so concerned with quantity as with quality. Or maybe that's about my own way of using the various things.
I saw your recent blog post in my email! I was at work at the time and have not yet looked at your actual blog, though. But very happy also to see you posting again!
xoxo
