Picked up my art from Avanti Art & Design today...
not one of my thirty minis sold... was a little disappointed but love what I created and now I have 36 minis to sell at holiday sales. I did enter two of them into the WA State Fair... Japanese Maple Mandala and Autumnal Equinox Sunset. note - images in the gallery.
I just learned that six have just been accepted for "Divinity" an October exhibit at Krab Jab Studios in Seattle. Those minis include: Blue Enso Meditation, Moon Tranquility, Maple Seed Meditation, Zazen Under Azure Skies, Channeling Spirit, and Spirit Guide. The last two were from the extra 6 minis that I made.
Stopped off on the way home at Daniel Smith... I figured as long as I was up in Seattle.
They had a special if you purchased $79 of Golden products you received a free sample kit [five 1oz matte fluid acrylics].
Of course, it is so easy to purchase that amount...I bought four 4oz paint and an 8oz acrylic retarder, plus they
had water based printing ink on the discount table at $2 each so those 3 went into my basket...
they also were discontinuing the WC pencils that I love so I bought 8 of them...
Interesting that the D. Smith watercolors are in smaller tubes with a higher price. Also the golden products are
discontinuing the 4oz jars in favor of the BIG jars which cost $$$$$ hmmmm... Sign of the times, I guess. Reminds me of grocery shopping - smaller packages for more money and/or bigger packages that I wouldn't use in years for more $$$...
Never the less - keep arting folks!
