Springtime in Paris

These are some more of the images I am preparing

in my mini portfolio to take to New York. These are

all from my trip to Paris last spring. I think the black

and white ones would make great coasters, and the

neon eiffel would be a neat t-shirt.

I have an interesting perspective about all this. I have

always been a "fine" artist; I have been trained to draw

and paint, and I have refined those skills over time in

all kinds of media, doing all kinds of subject matter.

As I have looked into gallery representation, they all

stress the utmost importance of working in one media

in one style (a "brand" I suppose). I find this so limiting,

and consequently, I do not have any gallery representation!

I believe that it is a valuable thing to be able to do all kinds

of artwork, and so I guess I have been looking for a venue

where all my skills would be appreciated. And so I will find

out this weekend during this licensing workshop and at the

Surtex show, if being a versatile artist is really worth something.

We'll see?!!

I would appreciate any comments on this subject!

Paris Re-visited

I had done several of these Paris collages

before Christmas, and I had sold most of

them. So I took a break from the RiddlePics,

and finished these 2 new collages. I still have

to add a couple of finishing touches. They are

larger than the other ones; these are 16 x 20

on canvas. They will go up in the gallery in the

"American in Paris" exhibit that will be there

for another couple of months.

I will get back to riddles....
