I'm beginning to get in the swing of running a gallery. Yesterday was Art Walk. Lots of people came out despite the rain. It was children's Art Walk as well and it was fun to see some of the little tykes.
By the time the walk starts, I'm usually pretty fatigued and my brain shuts down anyway when there's a lot of people in the room. I got to talk about how I do my paintings- I enjoy mixing water soluble crayons and acrylic to get a lot of different effects. I have been trying to resolve what inspires me in a way that makes it understandable for others. Sometimes I start out with a general idea and other times the paintings them selves give me the idea. I'm trying to express ideas in a non-verble way so I have to detach my consciousness from my actions in some way and one way to to react to the materials. I'm also interested in what my paintings say to my audience so I always appreciate someone's willingness to share.
