Art walk


I agreed to participate in the local art walk, which is why I am posting so late today. I just got back from hanging a bunch of paintings in the local pizza shop. I signed on in a moment of irrational exuberance, forgetting that I really haven't done any finished pieces in a long time, and then when I got to the pizza shop I realized I couldn't hang any of my best water colors because they are in frames and there were no hooks and if they fell they might take out a patron or two. In the end I took a bunch of my sketches and got some pre-cut matts and put the sketches in the matts and taped them to the pizza shop window. It turned out not bad. Another difficulty was that most of my sketches are from life drawing class and I don't know if my suburban town is ready for a bunch of naked ladies on Main street - and we get some really cute models in the life drawing class, none of those art school fat people.
