Warm up Your Pens and your Pencils

This is a multi media piece I did several years ago. My goal was to enter it in the Earth, Fire and Fiber show at the Museum. I chickened out. After getting it all done I deemed it unworthy of the show and never gave the judges a chance to decide.

Stepping out into new territory is scary especially when it is such a expressions of yourself. But by having the goal of entering the show I did something I had never done before. I really am quite proud of the piece which has long since been sold. I do wish I had entered it.

Now is your chance to step into new territory. The Girdwood Center for Visual Arts is having their annual show for the public. This year's theme is " This and That". The rules are that your art must have at least two different mediums. So if you like to dabble in watercolor, add a little ink. If you are into photography do a collage with some added items. This show is perfect for those of you that would like to tap further into your creative self but just don't know where to start.

The deadline for art is Feb. 2 with the opening reception being Saturday the 4th. ( there is a shuttle so you don't have to drive to Girdwood to drop off your work) It is $5.00 per piece to enter and your work will be on display for the month. Who knows, you might even sell your masterpiece. Drop me a note or give a call if you want more details.

I hope I can get a few new people to participate. I remember the first time I presented myself as a wanna be artist. It is terrifingly exciting. Come on, add a little energy and art to your life!
