I Am In

Here is my little painting on the wall in a little gallery in New London.

I have my toe in the door.

Its not easy to break into a new art scene. Plus the pandemic changed everything, art is no exception.

I was pleasantly surprised that all four of the local area galleries were putting up shows when I visited. One was very new and we were lucky enough to have the director show us all around.

Another director encouraged me to submit for an upcoming show. The cause was good, I liked the theme, so I did. She also invited me to sell my books there.

Friendliness all around.

I’m making friends with local artists, I set up my studio space. I’m teaching classes. I’m even doing some interior design work.

I guess hiding out in New England, for me, has run its course.

I heard a good story about an owl recently and the message was simply : you don’t have to hide, instead, be big!

Timely humorous.
