It is the application to Allied Arts call to art for 2010-2011. I don't enjoy this part of the business of art but who does enjoy every aspect of their chosen career? But now, I have all my ducks in a row and it should be easier to put together more.
The only thing left to do is write a artist statement. The Squando web site advises that "Your artist's statement can be a moving testament to your creativity and integrity." I thought that my paintings were that testament. What other field has to convince everyone of the validity of exercising their talents?
