Online exhibition and reception

Last Tuesday evening I had my first ever solo online gallery exhibition, which will hang forever on the walls of cyberspace at this location. You can expand the comment section, and read the various conversations.

I would normally say; we do what we can, whatever it takes to move things forward. And it is not quite the same as having your work on display in a flesh and blood gallery. Online exhibitions may not be anywhere as prestigious, and I'm not even sure if they belong on the artist's CV, although I will look into that.

However, after all that preface and such, it was fun. And very worthwhile. And I sold a painting the first day. And I made new friends and gained potential new collectors. And I had discussions about painting and art and techinique that I rarely have had during any of my countless flesh and blood exhibitions over the years. And did I mention it was fun?

It was really fun.

whole new beast
New year, new painting site

The cool thing about websites is that they are living, breathing things, at least in comparison to print materials. They grow and evolve. Sometimes, they completely shed their old skin and take on a new one, covering the old bone structure. At other times, they become whole new beasts, with only some of their previous cells coming along for the ride.

I just built a whole new beast. It went live yesterday. You will find it here at the same old web address. It's dark, I know, and the Gill Sans font may be a bit small; both points breaking some of the basics I tell my students. However, the design fits the evolution of my work better. Speaking of evolution, there will be two more sections to the site. But, I didn't want the time consuming-ness of either to hold back the site another month.

The painting in this post is called; Bluescape. It was yet another green and orange landscape. Then it went blue.
