Invitiation, and a few nerves

My big news of the day is that I got invited to hang some of my paintings in a show!

That sounds better than it is.  It is a show done at Xmas for painters from the village, whatever their skill level, and the man who invited me has never seen any of my work, and indeed admitted that he was having trouble finding painters.

A bit of a bottom dragging technique of creating a show, but what the heck.

I am

a:  excited

b: nervous

c: compelled to create LOTS of art between now and then

d:  continuously debating what to submit.

e: going to have to get some framing done!

Weeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

Do NOT frame.

Framing is REALLY personal, figure out a very neutral but beautiful way to display your work
like magnets on a sheet or something, people will pay a certain amount for an image, and they do not care about framing, you will loose money, plus the work is hard to store, transport etc.... Plus it is really really personal. I repeat...DO NOT FRAME!!

Am I being a little strong here?
oops! Love you Nomad

Congratulations anyways! To be invited, he had to know you did paint. So maybe someone told him. Meaning someone knows you're painting, and likes it enough to tell other people. Somehow, you should consider yourself famous already.

Wow! Congratulations! Although I shouldn't be so surprised as I've seen some great art in your canvas a days on your sidebar. Enjoy the celebrity status and the buzz and the excitement!
