Competition

I thought I might enter the Little Xmas Art competition which is an Oxfordshire based competition sponsored by Art Fusion and Art Inc Gallery.
Hopefully lots of the Eynsham Arts Group will enter as its on our doorstep so to speak.

The entry deadline is 20th October, so I have decided on entering a recent painting rather than starting a new one as I have some plans and ideas but not the time (even at my painting speed!) to execute them.

I am still building on my shoe collection in the hope of getting a gallery interested in the new year. Its going to be one of my New Year Resolutions (in capital letters) to make more of an effort to promote my work. Its difficult though, the other non-business minded side of me whines...what with 2 young children, a teaching job, and a household to run. Its small wonder I find the time to clean out my brushes properly (which I invariably don't) let alone pitch to galleries. Hope springs eh?

Family and the day job can make finding the time for painting tricky can't they...I know exactly how you feel :) But keep going, it doesn't matter how long it takes so long as you get there in the end...well, that's what I keep telling myself anyway ;)

Fingers crossed for this shoe painting...just need to workout what I'm going to enter for that competition now :)
