What the heck have I gotten into?" I have yet to get an answer. Oh, well, it is better than waiting.

I took the opposite route and went into galleries first, but sometimes that's been like banging my head on a wall because like you, I'm not exactly edgy material, nor do I have the stamina or desire to be so. I like my little quiet country life making art. Now I'm making a transition away from galleries and trying to find a Robertahttp://www.robertamurray.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-48483665243080512652011-11-04T07:43:19.558-07:002011-11-04T07:43:19.558-07:00Earl—You must have visited the same galleries that...Earl—You must have visited the same galleries that I did. ;-) I have seen a few exhibits in Los Angeles that were inspiring, but a lot of things that left me cold. I am more than willing to admit that my tastes are old-fashioned, at best. <br /><br />Just as in the case of the co-op galleries here, many of the venues where I saw<br />work that moved me were run by artists putting themselves on Anita Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671820780634003286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-61890895056935853352011-11-04T06:48:06.012-07:002011-11-04T06:48:06.012-07:00I'm not in the least surprised this peace sold...I'm not in the least surprised this peace sold and I can imagine it would be truely striking on metallic paper.<br /><br />As for edgy galleries, I've visited and walked through a number of them and in many cases I come away wondering who would buy most of the exhibits. Some of them push my definition of "art" but then I readily acknowledge that's all about me and not the Earlhttp://meanderingpassage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-26059255396890520202011-11-03T23:20:26.181-07:002011-11-03T23:20:26.181-07:00JP—Thank you for your comment.

Validation from people with good taste is always welcome. <br /><br />I am pleased with our arrangement and slowly getting ready for the December show.

I'm not looking for "edgy" either but I appreciate good composition and storytelling printed and displayed well.<br /><br />It's great you found a venue that works for you and it's something that doesn't apply so much pressure and obligations that can make it unbearable.
