Thanks for your comments. Below is the portrait I couldn't get up (I believe my chrome is keeping me too secure, so I went off to a different browser)

My mural is still only a project, as it is too big at present to display. When the new gallery opens in December, we are going to install it as a faux wall to cover some doors to storage and classrooms that are hard to hang around. A great way to keep the art moving everywhere in a multi-purpose space.

Here is a link to the first article in the local papers.

I miss having something that felt like a JOB!

Debra,

Gorgeous portrait! Very impressive. And the article in the local papers about your mural was excellent, very well-written. Congratulations.

David

I framed it and called it a monochrome portrait.
This week I took it to my art league and it was voted Art of the Month.

MOM was excited!

Thank you Sara,
I think being a member of a league, no matter if you have much in common, gives you a chance to see what is going on out of your studio. Sometimes I feel odd, but every month they have a vote and people bring in their best stuff. The winners are on display at the Christmas party and we vote for art of the year.
I find it does let you know who the competition is!! (that is supposed to be a wink!
