Today I rescued my 2 "rejects" from the Springville art museum. I didn't have time to see the actual show and will go back to give it the time I am sure it deserves. I was introduced to a young curator and she retrieved the art for me and then looked at them carefully and gave me a bit of a critique. It was welcomed as I am always up for constructive criticism. She agreed with a laugh that they were not totally representational or abstract but somewhere in between. She has a masters in curator whatever from an Ivy league school so no slouch and I did appreciate her point of view..which was very positive yet helpful.

she felt there needed to be more definition the rock cliff but other than that, nothing. I sent off the chicken map to NY today and sent a proposal to Utah Arts Alliance. These are what I sent as part of an idea to do a whole show of 2 and 3 dimensional work about trees. the first is the Ancient Trees which is above..

I also want to do some sculptures incorporating parts of the tree branches we have weathering outside with yarn, beads,paint, found objects. Now I get to worry about the Peeps being out in their first storm!!! Their light is on but it is really windy and supposed to get cold and rainy.
