I love living in the country. It is where I have chosen to make my home and I am inspired by my cattle and the quiet fields but it isn't the best place to share ideas. So, two artist friends and I get together once a month or so to have an art talk. We take turns hosting the talk, the host provides soup, coffee and a dessert and we all bring our own sandwiches for lunch. Everyone brings an art piece or an art idea to talk about. We share our thoughts about the work or offer suggestions if someone is having an "issue" with a piece and wants advice.
These informal art talks encourage me to keep my work practice up. I look forward to sharing my new ideas in this safe environment with artist friends who are encouraging. It is similar to being back in art school where the ideas flowed and were shared freely.
I encourage artists, whether in the country like me, or maybe in the city but isolated in their studio, to find a group of like minded artists and get sharing. It might be the first step towards showing your work to a larger audience.
What did I show at Art Talk today? Let me show you.....it is the second in my constellation series. The title is "Taurus Constellation II" and it shows not only Taurus but Orion as well. This collage is on gallery style stretched canvas and measures 12"x12".
