amy poehler s book yes please it was great funny and moving in all the right ways she wrote a little about creativity and being an artist here are a couple of things that i jotted down to refer to later you have to care about your work but not about the result you have to care about how good you are and how good you feel but not about how good people think you are most people i know struggle

tuesday october 12 2010 checking in well whining really is anybody still out there i ve been so sporadic with this blog for a long time unmotivated uninspired just thought i d post something anything to get the wheels turning i guess i feel like i m in a stagnant phase right now my artwork is progressing and i m happy with what i ve been doing lately i m getting some shows here and there some sales etc all as a result of a lot of hard work from the past few years but it s not enough to support me i know that i need to do another push and keep working but for some reason i m blocked or lazy or scared so maybe it s just the economy and it ll pick up soon on a positive note i have work in the lobby of the murchison performance hall on the campus of the university of north texas in denton texas if you re in the denton area and would like to see it check the schedule and waxy buildup the exhibit i collaborated on with trayc claybrook will be on exhibit at gallery one in ellensburg

rejection letter i hate to focus on rejection but unfortunately it s just part of the process of being an exhibiting artist here s a great example of a rejection letter that uses humor from the

share to pinterest labels rejection letter wednesday june 16 2010 encaustic conference best foot forward part 1 this year at the conference the conferees were invited to bring one piece that measured 12 x 12 or less to hang in the hallway gallery the montserrat staff spent a long time applying tape to the wall to form a grid for the pieces to hang within i got there early when there were only a few pieces installed so it was fun to see the wall fill up with artwork there were also a few 3 dimensional pieces that sat on pedestals in front of the wall here are some photos of the hallway in various stages of the installation during the opening reception here are some shots of some of the pieces that i liked i don t remember a lot of the artist information but i included it where i knew it or could read the tag in the photo margaret berry david a clark donna zarbin byrne pamala crabb burnham p amala crabb burnham detail paula streeter elise mankes nancy lowe nancy lowe detail binnie birstein nancy natale karen nielsen fried julie shaw lutts joanne mattera alexandre massino barbara walton brenda mallory congratulations to karen freedman her piece above was chosen by joanne mattera for the director s prize for the first time the prize was chosen from the work of the conferees i really enjoyed being able to see so much work in person it was fun to meet someone and then ask them about their piece in the hallway and be able to have a conversation about it it was also a great showcase of the variety of ways that artists use this versatile medium i m really looking forward to the everybody into the pool show that joanne is already talking about for next year there s a list of other conferees who are blogging about the conference on the montserrat encaustic conference blog
