Fitting Art into the Busy Life

New Show, New Work

My hometown art guild in Colonial Beach Virginia is hosting the 15th annual Potomac River Regional Art Show in September. It has never been a juried show. The Guild accepts art work (subject to certain guidelines and caveats) until it runs out of room to hang them. That being the case, I once again opted to enter pieces that did not yet exist, other than in my (perhaps overly optimistic) imagination. What can I say . . . I work best with a deadline.

And I met the deadline (barely!) "Sara's Pond," and  "Blue-Green Ballet" were just finished yesterday.. Given that they are both oils, thank goodness that a combination of Gamblin's Neo-Meglip medium and hot, dry weather is speeding up the drying time. Turn in for the show is Thursday - 5 days from now!

This may not work for everyone, and of course, it can't be done for the juried shows. However, there is an additional advantage to a looming deadline. It means one has to stop! Instead of working and reworking the painting, you just have to call it finished . . . and put down the brush. 

​Paintings can be viewed in the Gallery!!
