Brevity is the sister of talent. (Anton Chekhov)

“Being true to yourself is what feeds creativity, not self-doubt and criticism.” (Diane Arenberg)

I have to remember this and just do the work! Sometimes I get so confused and set too many goals and get muddled down in the “should” do this/that.  Enjoy today! http://lindagermain.blogspot.com/

Wow it has been a week, since I have been here. November is flying by and Christmas is around the corner.  I have been mailing out work and finishing prints to show or sell or submit to shows.  As deadlines approach, I can easily talk myself out of meeting them.  I am pleased to say that I have met my goals this week and have not let the deadlines slip by. It is a busy week preparing for a couple of local shows, going to a printmakers meeting, planning a 50th wedding anniversary party and working on the farm. I have to thank my friends in my Artists’ Way group for supporting me and holding me accountable for my goals. It helps to have to report in to someone else. http://www.linda-germain.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/lgcreate

Well I came across this fairly new gallery in NYC, 6×6 Gallery.  They offer a gallery submission package for $40.00.  It includes a 6 by 6 canvas and get you into a show for a month and online for 3 months.  It sounded fun, so I am giving it a try this month.  I cropped a gelatin plate print and mounted it on to the canvas, painted the sides and covered the print with gloss varnish.  I do love this print.  I am going to play around with the 6 inch square format.  It might make a good size for Christmas gifts. http://www.linda-germain.com/
