In the meantime, I have received notices from two different shows to which I submitted images for juring. Happily, my work was accepted into BOTH of them, so I'm jazzed.
These are the paintings juried in:
I've been vascilating lately -- teeter tottering between deciding not to submit to shows and then going back and deciding to do it. The quote I put at the top of this post just really rang true for me so, I guess I'll keep on painting and I'll keep on submitting my work for juried shows. Honestly... I love painting and my real goal is to just keep improving and keep on painting. But somehow, I also want to show my work in "public" and have it accepted by my peers and others so ... I submit. It's nice to get in. Maybe I'll really get lucky and sell some at these shows. More about those shows later. They are both opening in September.
Another plein air painting from Santa Barbara
This is another painting from our weekend visiting our daughter in Santa Barbara over the last weekend. The scene is Arroyo Burro Beach looking back at the cliffs toward Hendry's. South on this beach, people bring their dogs to romp in the surf. The north side is dogless. It was a great day with the fog drifting away by the time I set up to paint, then drifting back in just as I was finishing up. A perfect way to end my weekend up north. The summer is just flashing by and I'm trying to enjoy each moment!!
