Having my very first art exhibition March and April

[berniesandersmittens]

I'm in Pope County AR, pretty much ground zero for the total eclipse in April.

Of course the theme is eclipse. I'm honored and terrified at the same time.

I've never tried to sell any of my art so this is kinda scary.

One painting will be of Joe Biden wearing eclipse glasses instead of his aviators.

Advice is welcome! I need to have 7 ready

1. Can you do one of when Trump stared directly at the eclipse?

Except that painting that guy would be kind of unpleasant because you'd have to look him... Congratulations and good luck with your exhibition.

3. I thought about that

Have him holdo g the glasses, but staring directly at the eclipse

2. How exciting

you love your work, I assume. So go in strong with your work and stand proud. When you love it, they will love it. "They" will be those drawn to you and your vision in your art. Good Luck with this. It all has to start somewhere, be proud.

4. Thank you

I thought I'd be cool to have Bill Clinton wearing the glasses too. Considering he's the most famous person from Arkansas.


Also, that pic of Nancy in her glasses, wearing the read jacket. Change it to eclipse glasses.

Bernie sitting with his mittens on inaguatuon day ,glasses on.

5. Oh I love the Pelosi idea

Great ideas and very humorous.

6. How about the gorgeous halo...

... of the eclipse centered behind the person you love most in this world? Even if it's just their silhouette, you'll know who it is.
That'd be pretty cool.

7. Oh that would be beautiful

I'd have a hard time letting it go though

[GiqueCee]

8. Just mark it...

... NOT FOR SALE. If someone likes it enough, it might be a shot at a commission. Worth a try.

Congratulations, and good luck!

9. Thank you!

Half the proceeds go to our local Art Center.

Supporting a rural Art Center is pretty awesome. I hope all the visitors during the eclipse will check it out and possibly make some donations.

I'm trying to work with the local hotels to allow artwork displayed in their lobbies. Lots of amazing artists here could easily fill the easels.

10. Cool!

Do you have samples of your work available anywhere?

[berniesandersmittens]

12. No

Gonna try to upload a pic if I can figure it out

[Ms. Toad]

14. It's a pain.

You have to have an image hosting site, upload it there, then link to it here. I use imgur.

15. I think the local Art Center will have it on their website

It's not ready yet, but the homepage is

rivervalleyartcenter.org

I should have some pics up by March 1

[Ms. Toad]

16. I look forward to seeing them! n/t

11. I'd leave politics out of it

If it was me. How about a painting from the sun's point of view, looking at the moon and earth?

[berniesandersmittens]

13. Thats an interesting idea

I've decided to only do one of Bill in eclipse glasses

18. Best of luck

Hope it's a success!

19. Thanks!

I love seeing your water colors. They're so delicate and beautiful!
