Closeup of 'Amanda 2'

[Jimmie Arroyo]

I am going to be mailing slides, unless they are close by, then I will drop them off in the hopes of catching someone involved with the job of aquiring new artists. The few that I've found say they have "reviewing periods" and do not look at individual portfolios. I did get an immediate response from Arcadia gallery in NY, it was'nt good news but they said they liked the work, but did'nt need new artsits.

I know not having color in my portfolio is going to hurt my chances, and I would like to get at least one done before submitting again. I wish my home situation was better so I'd have the time and space to work on color. At least the weather is getting better, so I should be able to work in my attic again.

Thanks again.
