I hope tomorrow I can get a few photos to add but for now I will only text a message for all who follow this blog. I am hoping to enter a show exclusively for women at a woman’s college near here. The show is entitled, simply, Women In Art. Early in the spring I made a few phone calls because I wanted to get the info about the show. It is a biennial and since I don’t seem to be on their mailing list I missed the last show because I learned about it after the deadline for entries. No one seemed to have the info I needed so I waited a while and then a couple of weeks ago I tried again. Thank goodness I reached a woman who was considerate enough to search out her contacts at the college until she found the correct information and transferred it to me. At this point I had to make a decision. Do I enter one of my finished works and hope that the piece gets a good recognition or, do I start a project from scratch that is just calling to me to be exhibited in this venue. You see, months ago, I happened upon a documentary that stirred my emotions and interest. I won’t say too much about it because I like to have these bits of the story of a painting revealed at the opening. The important thing to me is the connection to the subject of the show and also the wonderful compositions I was able to establish. So, the subject is inspiring and the work is moving along at a pace that should meet the time for entry. I’m really looking forward to it. Shalom, Diana
