"doctor's hours"
sometimes nyfa (new york foundation for the arts) brings together artists with curators/critics/gallerists for one-on-one portfolio review sessions. i've been a "patient" a few times and have gotten some valuable advice. i'm here tonight in between appointments.

sometimes, of course, since you can talk with different people, you get conflicting opinions. one person told me she thinks a lot of commercial galleries would be very interested in my work (because she hasn't seen much like it), and asked if i have approached any, while another said that i should keep trying to show in non-profit spaces.
i hope they are both correct. i want to be able to keep creating new work and to share what i make.
wilting, stapling, painting
last night i thought one of the flowers was bending over a bit too much. i don't want them to escape the picture frame. i'm also nervous about the petals falling off. so i stapled it a few more times, where it will continue to age hopefully a bit more securely.
here's a view from last night after making the second painting and moving the camera back so that it's time lapse videoing the flowers until tonight:
this morning another flower looked like it might bend or fall off the frame, so i stapled it as well.
using the staple gun has reminded me of a project i wanted to do years ago experimenting with tools and paint - maybe this summer i'll give it a try.
