This past week I brought home all my paintings from SanCan Art Gallery in Erath, LA The gallery has now officially closed. I had 30 pieces there. Where am I going to hang these things? Yikes..
During the process, I spent time talking with artist, Amy Carruth. She really did give me a boost. I enjoy talking with other artists anyway, but Amy has such a great personality and is so insightful. We were talking about the fact that her work is so HER! It is what it is, she says. But I have never found a style of my own like that. I paint realistic landscapes one day and deconstructed Crock-a-moly the next. She gave me an exercise to FIND ME. I want to do it and see if it makes me more consistent.
Amy said to get a big board. like a canvas panel. Paint me. Embellish it with anything and everything that makes it me.
Okay....me with short messy hair.......maybe with pink streaks in it.....maybe not. lol. Clothes? Jeans and a big loose shirt....but with pearls and stuff sewn on it. Lacey bits. Color......RED! . Bare feet. a cat curled up nearby. hmmmmm. I wonder if I did another board net week if it would be different....lol............ahhhhhh..The many faces of Rosemary!
Alvin says that he is considering building me a studio in the back yard. I wonder if I would feel lonely out there working alone. Would it be scary at night? well, even if I didn't sit out there painting, it would give me a place to store all my stuff......and hang some of these paintings. I need to get off my butt and find another gallery who might be willing to hang my work. I am such a shy chiken....arrgghh!
