My art is going to be in a movie!!!

That's really great! From here I will zoom to your website to see more.

Now, a couple questions that Aunt Latelate just has to ask (DH is a painter with a gallery in NY, and oh, the things we have learned the hard way....)

Will your work be insured during transport and use? By whom? Will skilled art handlers be moving/hanging your work? Will you be paid/credited? How? This is fun, and a great opportunity for your work to be seen, just make sure that you are not taken advantage of in the process. Hopefully your gallery director is getting these questions answered, but make sure!

Right on! High five coming your way! I will tell my mom about you she lives in the area.

Aunt Latelate, thanks for offering words of wisdom. Yes, my gallery guy is on top of things and has taken care of the issues at hand. I know what you mean about the handling of art and insuring the paintings. I had a gallery not long ago and I handled regional artists' work as well. I truly enjoyed working with them and having the openings. Unfortunately, our town was hit by a really, really bad storm with a tornado and damaging hail that lasted 45 minutes! My building was badly damaged and, as a result, I vacated it and began working from home.

Zen, I think you should break out the canvas and brushes and just allow your inner voice to coax your creativity.

Oxysback , Elysium is one of my favorite paintings and that particular painting has a neat story behind it. Yellow is my favorite color and I wanted to capture a loose interpretation of what my heaven would be. I had finished the painting but I still felt a little unsettled about it. One day the Chicago art critic, Andrew Patner, came by and viewed it. "You ARE finished with it, you know. I like your work. You create thinking man's art." I was so stunned. My jaw just hit the floor.

Elk, it's not often I run across an artist that works in textiles. Your work is fabulous! Have you ever created soft sculptures?

Brandi, thank you. I still can't get over the sand sculpture you created.

Mr. Silver, did you live in east Memphis? I enjoy the Germantown/Collierville area.

Makbike and Mimitabby, thank you both and yes, it's interesting to see what other things TE'ers do.

Sundial,

Do you know Debora Gordon? I don't think she is active now as she has MS and is drawing disability, it having hit her rather hard.

No, I don't know her. It's a shame she has MS.

We lived in Germantown just north of Dogwood Elementary
