October 26, 2007 Day 190
It is five p.m. on a Friday night, and I was going to shut down the computer without writing my art blog for the day. Remembered just in time:
Today's drawing had to be done quickly because we had to be in Syracuse at 11 a.m. to pick up the eight paintings I had in a show there for the past three months. The drawing is in blacks and grays:
Drawing #195 9" x 12"
As Adrian and I struggled to find a parking spot and then lug the paintings back to our Honda Element, I wondered why we keep doing this. Most of these regional shows yield few or no sales, so what is the point?
There is something special about seeing the work hung properly in a good space that makes it worthwhile. The curator here did a great job and my art looked terrific. They also handed out a lot of my business cards, so maybe a future sale will develop.
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
