Hello Everyone,
Things have been very quiet lately. I hope everyone is doing well. I have been busy lately promoting myself as an artist and that has been a learing experience but I have found new friends along the way. I am setting up at craft shows with stained glass mostly. I am a substitute teacher now. What a difference in stress level from being a middle school principal! I love my life again! I am painting more now and have just put three new paintings up. I have more out at shows and will get them up soon. I would love to hear from you!

Gallery Question - Please help!
DATE: 06/19/2008 09:09:21 / MOOD: don't know
I have never dealt with a gallery before and have recently met with Mac Worthington Gallery in Columbus, Ohio. It is a reputable gallery in the heart of a very successful art district called the Short North. They have been in operation for 18 years. They are interested in representing me, the details follow. What I need to know is, is this a typical offer and is it a good one? The contract would not be exculsive. They would get a comission of 40% for web sales and 30% for gallery sales. My level of involvement is up to me but comes with a cost. The costs follow: Website representation of 10 pictures costs $290. 100 postcards are $75. A quarter page spot in the Fall catolog is $126. Gallery space is $85 per month for one space (one piece) and $60 for each additional space. I can choose the months I wish to dsiplay. The area has several gallery hops per year where thousands of people attend. Please let me know what you think.

Temptations
DATE: 06/01/2008 10:28:19 / MOOD: other
I am wondering if many of you face the same dilemma I do. I am tempted by different mediums and never stick to one. I wonder how am I supposed to develop a style if I can't stick with a medium?! I have been enjoying acrylics lately and producing acceptable work. Now I have gone back in to stained glass and can't seem to get enough of it. I also do photography and love that as well! Does anyone else experience or is it just me? Should I stick to one medium when I love them all?! Just wondering...

What next...

My fingers are on the keys and I just sit there. Don't know what to write. I am at a crossroads and can't seem to make the first step. I have resigend as principal of my middle school and am searching for the next move. 6 years away from retirment I don't want to stay in administration. I want to do something that matters. I am lucky and I know it. I am just a bit lost right now. If money weren't a factor I would, like many of you stay in my studio but of course it is and that's o.k. to. Thank goodness for this site and the wonderful people who blog in it, comment in it, and display their incredible art in it. It makes a difference. It matters.

Hello All,
This is my first blog and my first entry! I was excited to be able to join a community of creative people. My favorite place to be is in my studio painting and listening to Jimmy Buffett. I painted in watercolor for 20 years and am discovering acrylics now and I love it! I live in a park where my husband is the manager and I am a middle school principal by day and mad painter by night. I would love to make my artistic career my full time job but just don't know where to begin. I imagine I am like many others out there! I would love to hear from you!
