The local art & sculpture society wants me to put together enough pieces for a month-long exhibition at a posh restaurant. True, in a town this small, "posh" can only go so far, but it's more recognition than I've gotten before.
I guess this just proves that if recognition is what you're after, just move back to the small pond. Posts: 8504 | Registered: Aug 1999

And as an added bonus, I now have Mussorgsky's Pictures At an Exhibition running through my mind instead of that godawful Burger King commercial version of Big Rock Candy Mountain. I am forever in your debt.

So (now that I've done a thorough job of causing chaos in this thread), do we get to see the pictures being exhibited, or do we actually have to come to Montana? Posts: 1357 | Registered: Mar 2002

I have to pick which ones I want to show. Perhaps I'll upload them tonight and have y'all help. Posts: 8504 | Registered: Aug 1999

What kind of images are you talking about Annie? Are these like paintings, drawings, or actual photographs?

Yeah, upload them soon and we'll check 'em out.
On a totally random subject, does anyone else here think that The Great Gates of Kiev would make a great score for a scene in a movie in which the Red Army lays siege to a German city in World War II?
Random? Yes. Highjacking? We'll see. Pointless? You bet your bottom dollar, missy.

OK, I've uploaded what I have on my computer now, which is most of my stuff. I do have some paintings and monotype prints that I have yet to photograph, but I'm pretty sure those are among my better stuff. My main problem is not being cohesive enough. I have the makings of four or five separate shows, but I don't know how to fit them together.

She's in the apricots, I think slightly right of center, closest to the front. (darn! in the hour I was AFK without posting this, CT has guessed -- and I was wrong anyway )
Speaking of which, I love the apricots. (Although if that's your idea of "slightly altered," I am never sending you produce-shopping! )
My other favorites are Space Needle, the stamps, the family tree, and the bookplate.
1. Will they be for sale? 2. What are the dimensions of the painting Backworld? 3. Do you have a bigger photo of that painting? 4. If it's for sale, how much?
One of your pieces is my favorite. Can you tell which one? Posts: 6394 | Registered: Dec 1999

Congratulations! And I agree with Karl - Backworld is great. (Don't worry, I won't bid against you.)

I'm glad you like Backworld. It's always been my favorite, but was rejected from the juried show I entered it in. I had it hanging in my house for over a year before my roommate said... "Whoa. The world is backwards!"
And yes, they'll all be for sale (after the show) and its dimensions are 24" x 30". I'll work on getting a better picture for you. Posts: 8504 | Registered: Aug 1999

Eruve, if you like, I'll send you a wallpaper-sized version of Mission Mountains for your desktop. It works really well that way.
It's a picture taken on the Salish-Kootenai reservation, a place that I feel very strongly about. It's one of the few occasions that the indians got the best land around, and that's sort of bittersweet to me. Of course, these days, the white population on the res is high enough that you wouldn't know it's a sovereign nation.

The dimensions sound good. I have several places in my house that might work well. Do send me a larger photo, if you can, and let me know what price you are asking. My email is in my profile.

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet, Karl - my computer time has been a little touch-and-go. I think I'll be able to take some photos tonight and email them to you tomorrow when I'm back in the office.
And thanks, Christy and Megan.
I appreciate the input from everyone - I just found a large-format printer in New Jersey that does large format archival prints for ridiculously low prices - around here they can push $60 each, and they're offering 18" by 24" for $13. Now I'm getting a bit more hopeful about being able to get all of these done in time, and I'm picking which ones will be going in. Hmmm.... choices, choices.
I found a printer online that will do 18 x 24 poster prints very very reasonably (with archival inks!), so I decided to do fewer pieces, but bigger.
I made two more posters along the lines of Headscarf, making a triptych of propaganda in French . I also had Apricots, Bananas, and Striped Peppers printed at 18x24, and will make them a series along with a painting I have (no pictures on line yet) that looks like a stoplight from far away but is a tomato, lemon, and green pepper. Then, I'll include Backworld, MSU and Hawaii 5000 and a monotype tetratych (I just made that word up) series I did of St. Corentin cathedral.
I still have to figure out how to frame (or mat) all of these with my very limited resources, but I'm very very excited about it all)
