See, I have the Great Falls Annual Studio Tour coming up in less than two weeks. On Saturday and Sunday, October 17 & 18, from 10am-5pm, hundreds of people visit the studios of 44 artist members of Great Falls Studios. I'm one of those 44. You will find me in the Artists' Atelier, 1144 Walker Road, Suites D&G, Great Falls. VA. In addition to filling up the galleries, salon style, from floor to ceiling, we will have bins of artwork, temporary screens of additional work. The space will be overflowing. I want my work around me... to sell and show.
Two people have shown great interest in "Sweet Temptation Cupcakes". It was hard to submit it. What if those hundreds of people show up for Studio Tour and they all came to see that one. Unlikely. But, artists' minds seem to be wired differently.
Then, on October 19, I'll hang a new solo show in Maison du Vin's tasting room -- a unique wine store in Great Falls. If I didn't need to plan for those two events, I might have paired "Sweet Temptation Cupcakes" with "Rooster Ruminations" as my Art League entries. Color was on my mind throughout "Rooster Ruminations" creation. It plays a critical role in its composition, and I believe that color is handled more deftly in it than in any of my other paintings. Well, at least it is in the top tier of color handling.
