I entered a show through the Kingston Art Center – they announce the theme and 24 hours later you deliver the work. Not a bad idea except when you work in oils. I’m glad Petros could drive me there because it was all I could do to keep the fingerprints off.
The opening was the next day, I was late and missed most the awards presentation and I was sort of bumming about my submission (needed more time, too wet to work with, etc et). So imagine my surprise when I walked into the gallery and saw that I got 2nd place! Lucky for me the judges didn’t agree with me and suddenly I was glad I entered afterall.
The theme this year was ‘free’. My entry is titled “I’m freeeee”, 20×30cm:
By the way in other good news – I sold my piece at the Community Spirit opening. I’ll miss my “Another chance…” monkey but I got to meet the buyer and she was really cool! Go monkey power!
