The World According to Arlene

Tuesday, October 21, 2008



Though not a daily painting, I finally finished this watercolor after 4 straight days of working on it. It is a gouache watercolor on 100% acid free handmade cotton rag paper than then float matted on an olive green back mat. I then set a large black mat around the whole thing and put it into a 19" x 14" gold frame.

I will enter it this week as one of my two entries into the annual Captial Theater Fine Arts Competion this Friday over in Bowling Green. I never get accepted and I am probably blowing my entry fees again this year. There are literally hundreds of entries and some of them really, really good and they don't get accepted either and that helps with the rejection. The final display area is small so the juror has to remember that and the juror usually likes the big "artsy" pieces that have some sort of message that I never understand, but apparently everyone else does. Carl has been accepted every time he enters and sometimes wins, but then there is usually not much in his catagory of stained glass. My other entry will be a fused piece called "A Square Universe." .. So we will see as "nothing ventured, nothing gained".
