Thank you for being an artist that is willing to put it all out there for others- i also do this and find it rewarding to see my fellow artist friends succeed at reaching their goals! <BR/><BR/>Might I add that when mailing a submission to a gallery whether it's going out of the country, out of state or down the street, i've learned it to be important to package my work as if it were a gift for the gallery director/other to open and view. There is a fantastic article on this in the Jan. 2008 edition of art calendar magazine.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the priceless information! I learn so much from each of your posts! Time to write a book Megan!!!<BR/><BR/>Am I in the running for the painting, or is it too late?

For whatever reason I have always been very critical of my own work and haven't made that jump to start doing shows outside of my area. Maybe now I will.<BR/><BR/>I found today's blog enouraging me to get my rear in gear on getting my portfolio updated and burning those images on a disc.

The information you provide is pertinent and so helpful. Galleries, too, will appreciate this blog, because it will help artists to make a good presentation to them. I used to be part owner of a gallery in Napa Valley, and so often artists would come to the desk with a painting under their arm, hoping to get it placed on the wall. Your blog today encourages all artists to make a professional presentation and to be consistent.<BR/><BR/>Bravo to you Megan for offering this to all of us!<BR/><BR/>With Deepest Bows in Your Direction,<BR/><BR/>jonzenJonzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665059070304916745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988591403253609681.post-39131501392804463742008-02-15T16:54:00.000+00:002008-02-15T16:54:00.000+00:00Hi Megan, Since I can't afford your art right now,...Hi Megan, Since I can't afford your art right now, specifically one of my favorite paintings ~Something Once Before~ which I can hopefully purchase someday!...I thought I would try this. <BR/>I'm not an artist but your work and blogs are an inspiration to me.
