I'm going to enter this silk painting in a local juried show in a couple of weeks. If it gets selected, it will hang in Chemers Gallery in Tustin for two weeks. If you are an artist living around Orange County, CA, you still have time to enter the competition. Go to tustinart.blogspot.com to get the information and entry form. The painting has to be a scene from Tustin, North Tustin or Peter's Canyon to be eligible. The entry form and fees are due April 16th and the artwork is to be delivered between April 20th to 23rd for judging. How it is framed is very important. It needs to be a plain black or dark stained color frame. If you have any doubts, take the frame into the gallery for an okay.
I have one more painting I want to do for this show so hopefully it will be done by next week. It will probably be an oil painting but might be another silk painting. I like to enter silks into this show because the judging is separated between amateur and professional rather than by medium. Nobody ever knows into which category the silk paintings belong. They usually get put into general (if there is that category) or mixed media ( which it's not). To me, it seems like they belong in the watercolor/water media category because the dyes are water soluble but I've never had anyone agree with me on that. What do you think?
