Both Paintings Accepted!

To my surprise, I was accepted in the 42 Gallery show in Mason, Ohio!

I am so excited! I found out this morning, and this evening I have spent by redoing the hanging hardware on both of the frames, and checking around for shipping boxes. Thank you, U-Haul, for the large mirror box size! I was extremely relieved because after talking to the nice man at Fed-Ex, I was worried. They said that they could put a box together for shipment, but it would cost me around $100! That’s insane! I wonder what that box could possibly be made of?…is it made of bronze? Cardboard engraved with gold address labels?

I guess that they do not know that I am a low-maintenance kind of gal as I do not require my skittles to be sorted before I eat them. Or excuse me, before I don’t eat them, because my size 0 body is on a diet. :)

DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a size 0, NEVER have been, and NEVER will be, and I’m proud of my well deserved curves- I’ve ate a lot of cake for them. Every cellulite dimple is a small wonder in and of itself, and it’s been well earned! Love to all, and thanks for reading!

Signed, Sealed, Delivered!

These are the two works that I am currently submitting for “The Good, The Bad, The Money” exhibition.
I put off sending in my entry into the 42 Gallery for long enough- I finally sent it out today! Hoorah! Now all I have to do is wait…and look for the next opportunities!

I took a career/personality quiz today for the heck of it. My boyfriend, Matthew, took it earlier today, and it sounded weird and interesting. He is an artist too, and voila! The personality quiz told him that his ideal career would be as an artist. I was wondering what mine would say…I was preparing myself for something like restroom attendant, cheese maker, or miner. I took the quiz- weird questions- drinking milk past expiration, to call fire department or not, create list or get to work… anyway, according to the test I am a Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving type, and indeed, artist was at the top of the list. Evidently artists throw milk out at the expiration, look for the fire first, do not call plumbers, do not take our cars into the mechanic when we probably should, and create lists before we work, instead of just working immediately…sounds about right…J
