Showing my art...out there????
Aug. 9th, 2009 09:51 pmBusy week, mostly writing-wise. I'm about 30,000 words into a 40,000 word project and I'm still not entirely sure where the hell it's going. LOL!
Though I did have the time to do 3 quick watercolor sketches in one of my smaller notebooks. Plus I decided to share some previous works with my ENT Twitter RPG group...I did some acrylic sketches of some scenes in our latest role-playing adventure. Feedback was mostly positive. I also showed a mom friend of mine the same small sketch notebook...I don't usually show a lot of people because I'm not sure what their reaction would be. I have displayed (and donated) a couple of works to the Charlotte International House, and had a table at a Spring Craft Show, but nothing really huge yet.
I guess I'm still somewhat of a chicken, as far as putting my work out there goes. Maybe I'm still nervous as to what people will say. I've had cirtiques ranging from "child-like" to "colorful". I've had an old colleague of mine compare my work to the bright murals he saw while he was in Mexico. But...once bitten, twice shy. I like painting and doing art because I like to, not because I'm looking for lots of money or because I'm an art snob. My experience with "professional" art places haven't been all that great.
Sometime, I think I'm going to stick my neck out again and show my work. When I feel ready for it.
