Yesterday I had my two pieces, A Mild Winter and Blue Green Waters in the Art for the Arts Show presented by the Auburn MA Cultural Council. I have never displayed my work in a public forum before, so this was a big step for me on a personal level. I was offering them for sale which didn’t happen, but my goal was really only to display them and I’m happy I did. I got a chance to meet some new people as well as chat with others who I already met before. I will definitely be doing more things like this in the future as opportunities arise, and I have more of an idea of what to expect. The biggest sense of victory I have is that I will not be afraid to do something similar in the future. I wish I had someone take a picture of me next to my paintings so could post it here, but the thought slipped my mind yesterday.
I also got a chance to do a little bit of sketching yesterday, which you can see below. Now that spring is here, my mind is on flowers again.
