I submitted three of my paintings to
Litmus Gallery in Raleigh and then started to chew my nails. Submitting work is nerve wracking - it is the waiting. I am no stranger to submitting my work. I have submitted to several magazines with my jewelry, and have been published over 20 times - and the results are the same. I have no nails.
The acceptance date had come and gone with no word from the gallery and I removed it from my mind and continued on to other adventures. Then the email came. Two of my paintings were accepted! I will be honest, I teared up, squealed, and maybe even pee'd my pants a bit.
I AM SO EXCITED!!!!
"Cosmic Chrysanthemums"11 1/2" x 14 1/2" acrylic on cherry wood cabinet door
"Meteoroid Showers on Sand" 11 1/2" x 14 1/2" acrylic on cherry wood panel
Tonite is the reception, and I couldn't be more proud and more nervous
and more excited! I can't wait to see my work hanging in a gallery and
to see all of the other submissions. I can barely focus on the day, I
want to be at the gallery now :)
