I'm in a Gallery! Yay!!

Just wanted to repost from Lori Sander's blog...she has a gallery and is featuring several different artists' works and some of them are mine.  Yeehaw!!  So fun to know my art is in a gallery and people who don't know me might be picking up an original piece, holding it, looking at it, etc.  It's a very different feeling than just putting images on facebook or flickr or my blog...exciting but a little scary!  :)

Hope to share more of my art with the "real" world as my confidence grows.  How did those of you who have featured your art in shows or art fairs get through it the first time?  I'm petrified and don't even know where to start.  I need a check list!!  Help!  How do you get "ready" and then how do you know you are "ready" for a show?  ARG.  If anyone wants to comment, I'd love some feedback on the subject.  Any little tidbits of advice will be greatly appreciated!

Have an awesome week!
Smiles!

Witch

Finally finished this little witch (11x14 on watercolor paper).  She's much more stylized and cutesie than I normally would paint but I was in a children's-book-sorta mood.  Enjoy!

simple jack o'lantern

Not feeling well...been in bed for 2 days but I think I'm on the mend.  As I sit and listen to my husband sawing away on his coffin creation (we'll use it in our haunted house) and my children laughing,  I find myself wishing I had my energy back.  Couple more days and I'll feel myself again-- I HATE being sick (it's hard to slow down when you're used to being a busy mom!).  Halloween is just around the corner and I always draw a jack o'lantern or two (or 20!).  Here's one for you.  I hope you are having fun getting ready for Fall.  We are -- or at least 4 of us are ;)
