A happy day for me

So, it's been a tough week, personally, but I have a bright spot in my life. Today my painting..."Between the Calm and the Chaos"...was in an art gallery in Edmonton and put on the wall with all the amazing artists that belong to this artist run gallery. It is a very proud moment for me and a happy one as well. I know that I will have more pieces of art in the galleries through the years. (Must think positive, because as I have discovered...if YOU don't believe in yourself, who else will???) Anyway, this is the end of a very hectic day, so I am going to relax and raise a glass to my first official art gallery showing.

Between the Calm and the Chaos

It's been far too long since I added anything to this blog. But then, it takes time to paint. This painting is called "Between the Calm and the Chaos". I went very deep for this painting and it brought out a lot of feelings that tend to get buried. That's what I love so much about painting. It is almost as good as a psychologist's couch!

It's 18 X 24 inches, done with acrylics and paper and is framed with a black wooden frame. It is about to be handed over to a local art gallery for a art show and sale.

One thing I had issue this week was a framing shop that did not bring in my frames in time for this art show. I had two other paintings that I wanted to enter, but because of their tardiness, I was not able to do that. I am learning, but it takes time to know these things. Next time it won't happen! Live and learn!!
