Well, here we are back where we started.

For those who don't know, Dakota and I decided to leave the farm life and re-enter the thriving metropolis of Fort Collins, Colorado. It feels like a metropolis, anyway. We have been back in Colorado for about 2 months, now and are adjusting well. Right now, I am still looking for a job and Dakota just got hired with a company in Louisville and starts next Monday.

While I wait to become enslaved by a lifesucking corporation, I am concentrating on getting involved in the art community. I have joined the Colorado Coalition of Artists and am renting a studio at the headquarters here in Fort Collins. So, painting has become my job and I would like to get my work into some galleries in larger places, like Denver, Santa Fe, and wherever it may fit in well. Right now, I am still new to this submission stuff. I was wondering if anyone out there has any knowledge or expertise they would like to share with me on the subject? How do I submit to galleries? How do I know if I am getting ripped off, etc.?

Also, I am attaching some of my paintings (not the best photos). I would love any feedback you all may have for me on these.

That's probably enough, for now. Most of these paintings are oil on canvas and 16" X 20" or larger. I have several others, but some I have sold or given to people. Please let me know what you think (besides that the picture quality is not great...I already know that.

)

re: post entitled "Getting Serious Now"

What is this painting called? I wanted to comment on how beautiful the colour choice was. Strange colours you would not usually see together, very nice.

That painting is called "Kaleidoscopic" and was painted in oils. Thanks so much for the comments! I feel honored that you used your first post to comment about my painting! Welcome to the cellar.
