Name new painting CONTEST


Hi!!

I have posted a pic of my newest painting both on my website and on Myspace. However, even tho I know what this painting means, I seem unable to come up with a name for it. So here's the deal!

You name this painting!! Post your painting titles on myspace under the painting, in My Art Album, and next Thursday (yes Thanksgiving), I will announce the winner and notify them via Myspace. What do you win? Well, I thought you would never ask!!

Besides naming the painting, you will win a print of your choice off of the website. You can choose any print up to a 10 x 15.

So get busy, put your thinking cap on, name this painting, and win a print.

Myspace address is www.myspace.com/blackorchid1905
Website address is www.dzaet.com

Thankyou all so very much for the help. And have fun!!!

giggles,

Lazy Journal keeper

Well, I have proven to myself that I am a lousy journal keeper. Is that a real phrase? Journal keeper? Or would that be journalist? Whatever, I am no good at it!!

So much has happened since I opened up this website. I have done several shows, and my work is now in the new ArtWhino gallery in DC..... Alexandria, to be exact. It has been a whirlwind of events, and frankly, I have not quite kept up with everything. I am still in the disbelieving stage.

My art is moving along. I havent really changed my subject matter much, I suppose I have a lot of emotional things that still need to be expressed. So, until I tire of it, I will continue along this path. I would like to delve into the surreal world a bit more. I use symbolism without thinking much anymore, it has just become part of how I paint.

I have found that my creativity lies in a delicate balance of business and shows. Marketing yourself is a tough job. It requires a lot of time, and unfortunately takes its toll on the amount of time left to paint. I dont like that part of this. I love doing shows, but a part of me longs to be back, just painting for the love of it!! Oh well. Someday, when I am famous, I will have someone to take care of this business for me, while I stay in the world of canvas and paint.

I am so fortunate to be a part of this art world.

Thankyou to everyone who drops in and takes a look around here. It dosent matter if you like my work, what matters is that it is here for you to either enjoy or not. It is here.
