Another step

Two weeks ago I attended an opening of a gallery I have admired here in Rocky River, Ohio. The opening was after they had added more square footage and "nipped and tucked" their space. I went alone (yikes!). I mingled, I passed out my cards, I introduced myself to the partners and I left without spilling wine on myself or anyone else...it was a great evening. Oh, yeah, did I mention I had already sent them images of my work and an application to be represented by the gallery?

This week I was accepted into the Silverthorne Gallery. Today I took some of my work for display, but just before I left my studio the phone rang. It was a woman who had stopped into the gallery asking for the name of a portrait artist, they gave her mine, and I have an appointment with her next Thursday. Three daughters...

Another step in realizing this dream to create and make a living doing it!
