Art Show Themes
Art shows often come together better if there are parameters. These might be subject matter, concept, color palette, size, medium, or some combination of these things.
Art Record
Several years ago I set about, with the help of my organized librarian cousin, to compile an art record of all the pieces I had created for the last 50 plus years. It is a chronological list and a set of images.
Studio Tour
Even a 1970's apartment makes a beautiful studio. I have lots of room for storage of fabrics and lots of surfaces.
What to do next?
There are some big questions about what to do next, but there are the simple prioritize-my-time sort as well.
Weed Sort Plan
This blog is part two of a discussion about photographs. Do they bring you joy?
Put Yourself Out There
You won't get into the show unless you enter the show. You won't meet new people unless you expand your activities and try new things. Yeah, yeah, I know.
Quick Show and Tell
In my September blog post, I showed you many examples of artwork inspired by relationships with people, animals and place. Two of the photos I shared then, are now small pieces of art.
How is it done?
When you purchase artwork, you are also paying for the many years of practice and expertise of that artist. I have been using the medium of fabric for 50 years. There are hundreds of decisions that go into the making of artwork.
Cat Fights and Tornados
Does planning relate to creating artwork? Yes. Does planning relate to marketing artwork? Yes. One must plan to succeed. One has to show up and do the work. And, just like the planning for a big party, the ideas are conceived and nurtured, the setting repaired and weeded.
