two works, one show

so, I got off my backside and took my work up to the Visual Art League Center in Lewisville...a 25 minute drive, and very easy to find....

701 S. Stemmons FWY. #115
lewisville, Texas 75067

if you are interested..... it is in a strip shopping center off Fox street and has the words ART GALLERY in bright blue on the from of the storefront gallery.....

i had never been there, as i said, but was pleasantly suprised by the location and the setup of the rooms....the front two, full glass with white walls, and two other rooms in back, filled with artwork lining the walls....

As is par, the show allowed for 3 works to be entered for the entry fee, and i took advantage of that....scouring my rooms for works done in the last 24 months that i felt were at least "ok" to display....

i ended up taking, " Of Butterflies", " upside down is better", and " Vin 2"......

I never have been one to know what to expect from these things....jurored shows that is....i have concluded that I will never really be able to figure out what a juror might want for a show....i have only been accepted into a few jurored shows, and not a single one of them could i have predicted what might have been chosen out of the work entered....

This time, " Of Butterflies" was jurored out...and i will have to go pick it up this week....

which is funny....because it is the peice that got me invited to be a part of the 'El Corazon' show back in february.....and just goes to show how little i know about what people like...or not necessarily like, but are willing to display....if that makes sense....i dunno...

this is an issue i am still working on, for myself....

and some i will surely write about more in the future, as it is part of my process of developing as an artist....

but, having said that, the other two peices were accepted into the show....YAY!....i am very happy about this....and the opening and reception is next saturday from 7-9.

So, it looks like i will be trying to swing two openings saturday night...the VAL show and then swinging back by the Bath House Cutural Center for their next show....and hopefully visit with James Michael Starr. We will see how that goes in my space time continuum...

I am off to East Texas this afternoon....heading first to Canton to walk through their 'junk' and see if i might spy some art inspirational findings....then to Lindale to pick up kiddo, who I haven't seen in over a week and am dying to kiss his beautiful face....then we head to my parent's farm where kiddo and my father have planted sunflowers that are ready to be cut...again, a source of inspiration and hopefully some good pics to display here as well....
