The three paintings submitted to RED. |
I tried again with the next juried show in February at the same gallery, The Cannon Beach Gallery, in the town of the same name on the northern Oregon coast. I submitted three very different pieces to the show entitled RED. Two of the pieces were accepted. One sold. But what pleased me even more is that I was the only artist who had two pieces accepted and only two pieces sold from the show, mine and one other.
Never give up. never. give. up.
ULURU |
The piece which was sold is called ULURU which is the Aboriginal's ancient name for Ayers Rock in central Australia. It's a monolith, a huge red rock out in the middle of a flat plain. I composed the collage on heavy paper and then glued it to a cradled canvas and extended the colors around the sides.
The other piece that was accepted into the show is called Red Leaf - Falling.
RED LEAF - FALLING |
It's a collage of hand painted papers and a single maple leaf from a tree in my front yard. The collage is 12 x 12, matted in a 16 x 20" frame.
EVERY ROOM NEEDS A SPOT OF RED |
Yes... never. give. up! So glad you didn't. Congratulations Jo! I can see why ULURU sold. It's a beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robyn.
DeleteAwesome Lady congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura. I really appreciate your comments.
DeleteCongratulations! How affirming and satisfying as an artist. Beautiful pieces
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought, too, Bren. Simply getting into the show was enough but sales and multiple entries is even better.
