So people have been asking me what i do at these art shows i attend.
well.......
1. I meet amazing people!
2. I have 4 hours of uninterrupted(specificly by a dog needing to go out, or a lil one wanting to get into my supplies) to paint....FOUR HOURS!....i know, i wanna cry from joy when i type that...
3. I sell my work...not a lot, but some, enough to justify being there
Why do i do it?
1. so i don't go nuts!
2. i'm a stay at home mom....i seriously need to know there are actually other people/artists/art enthusiasts who are living a breathing and not just in my computer.
3. It's my "me time"...when i can get out and just be me....
I'm not trying to live "up" to people's needs or expectations...which is ironic, because in some ways, i really am "performing"...but at art shows, my "performance" of simply being who i am...is enough... and a huge breathe of fresh air...
4. Did i mention FOUR HOURS OF UNINTERRUPTED PAINTING AND CREATIVITY TIME?
I am the kind of person who desperately needs uninterrupted creative time...i get that when i go to shows...i love it...
a few pieces i worked on at Tree of Life Arts Festival this weekend...
