Excitement and disappointment
It is what life of Artists is made of!
I have many times talked with artists feeling they will never go anywhere with entries in shows or competitions.
Well guys, it is a tough world out there and it is not for the faint hearted!.
These last few years, I have been lucky but I have had my moments of disappointment too. A proof I am human :D
I was not surprised when my work was not chosen for Patchings. I do not think I match the style.
But Ho joy! one of my paintings was chosen for the grand beautiful show of the International Society Acrylic Painters, judged by the grand artist in Acrylic Steven Quiller.
He explained how he chose the paintings:
"I looked carefully and was open to paintings that took me a bit deeper and also looked for an overall body of work that would present a well-balanced acrylic exhibition. Acrylic is a versatile medium and can be expressed in many different ways and on different supports. However, most importantly, the medium should serve the statement; the technique and approach to the medium should serve the personal nature and expression of the work."
