Finally, the one whole month exhibition has arrived and even though I am amongst other artists, I still feel apprehensive at exhibiting, particularly if my work does not sell.I am new at this game and feel nervous when I see other established artists who I have admired for years at these shows, knowing that I am now level footing with them and I feel like I have to prove something, perhaps to myself more than anyone else.
Its the time where we say "put your money where your mouth is" to ourselves and hope that someone will admire your work so much that they will put their money into their pockets.
Recently I have established some paintings that I feel are my own. I know that may sound strange, but I have always struggled to find the artist within and have tried so many different ways of putting paint to paper and different medias to supports, but finding it difficult to gel with any of it. At one time there were so many different styles it looked like a desperate attempt at a stab at all types and styles and I suppose that was the way I was working.
However, my work is gradually showing the world who I am and what I truly enjoy doing.
Thats working with watercolour, pure and simple and using colour at its most vivid possible if I can.
So I suppose its now when I introduce my new family on paper.Meet Eliza, at the top then Marvin and finally Charlie, all three have a little story to tell. http://www.artist-sandieturner.com/
