I've been hung...
Well I guess I've reached a milestone... three of my artworks are now in a local gallery. One of the three is the pic I use as my avatar, the drawing of Peace Rules:
It's a small gallery with artisan jewelry and artwork by local "undiscovered" artists. But, this summer the gallery owner is moving the shop to a new location at a large development being build in our town called the "Arthouse"... they're art-deco apartments with galleries and shops underneath (as that seems to be the latest trend in commercial developments around DFW.) The plan is to draw upper-scale clientele to the Arthouse area... so when the gallery moves to that location my artwork will be going with it. It's probably a good place to start out.
Plus, the gallery sends out a monthly email newsletter, and they're putting me in as one of the subjects in the next one going out.
So anyway, thanks to Hubby for talking to the gallery owner and arranging this, I'm now on display. :-)

Congratulations on this first step. Very impressive, will be following in the coming days to see how things progress. Sending my best to you both. j.d.
Jaydee I think it may take a little longer than a few days to sell something! The major thing is getting into a gallery that's going to a prime location. But it'll be a few months before they move.
But thanks for the well wishes! Hope you're doing well.
I'm sure over the months you have learned patience,,, you're right the right place and right time are most important.
Thanks for the 'doing well wish', I'm heading back to Oaklawn Thursday for a weekend of racing, must stay in Malvern, all hotels and motels are FULL in Hot Springs. Was hoping to get the apartment next door to the 'Hoosiers', but some old lady from Dallas has it rented and hasnt been there for days, she's back at her son's home in Dallas,,,,,,,, wish the landlord could have let me in------might have been interesting had she returned....lol..........have a super week now. j.d.
Wow, what great news! The profile in the newsletter is a real plus.
You probably already look at countless art sites, but here is another. I knew this artist when she was Anna Bell Steinkamp giving private art lessons in Little Rock. Now that she's A.B. Word I can't afford any of her stuff anymore. i do have 2 pieces, but they'r both prints. You'll maybe like her work.
Soon I will be able to say I knew you when you were a starving artist, and I had the good sense to buy an original when I had the chance!
i don't know how to post a link here, but here's the URL.

Hey, JD, see you tomorrow!
Hope to get there Anna, leaving early today (Thursday),,,,, glad to hear you have one of WT's prints, if I was younger and a collector would consider purchasing one. She did a great job for Al last year at Oaklawn. Have a great week everyone. j.d.
Thanks Anna for the link... she has interesting stuff, very dreamy pastel work. I see that she calls it "Imaginative Realism"... I wonder if she came up with that term herself or if it's an actual art movement (I'll have to look that up!) That's neat that you have some of her work though.
And hope ya'll are doing better at Oaklawn than I am! My picks stink lately :(
I have one pastel of hers that a person with an art degree says "cannot" be done with pastels. She has such control of her media it's unreal.
BTW, can't pick my nose at OP.
Wow Puddin is about to be famous. I think you should make your next artwork of a big ole bowl of puddin and then send it to JD and I. hahaha
Congrats
Puddin is always famous,,, I just found out it was made with 'Bourbon' not just cheap whiskey....went to the Brazil website,,, couldn't understand one word........lol............j.d.
Yeah I know, another blogger spammer just trying to sell stuff.
Ronnie I'm afraid if I tried to paint bread puddin it wouldn't last long enough... I'd wind up painting an empty bowl! haha
