Elegant Spider (in progress), 12x16 inches, charcoal, graphite, & oils on GessoBord.
Every choice to do one thing, is also a choice to not do all the other things that could have been done, instead.
My solo show is less than two months away. I expected to have many more paintings finished by now.
(In other words, I'm way behind!)
Last month, the Kansas City Art Institute announced an upcoming alumni auction and exhibit. The juror is the new director of the Nelson-Atkins Museum.
While it would be very cool to have one of my paintings seen by the director of the Nelson-Atkins (!) the deadline to submit something to the auction is March 1. It would take me the entire rest of February to produce a decent painting--and I would not want to submit anything less than my best--and I really need the rest of this month (along with next month, too, of course) to prepare for my solo show.
So, I've decided not to worry about entering the alumni exhibit.
I think being ready for my solo show is more important.
