Today it is misty,cloudy and cold here on Mojave River Road. I am back at my mural where it is now just a matter of WORKing the painting. All issues of composition, color, elements, etc. are in place. I am also still trying to help my wife get the house in LA cleaned out so we can get back our substantial deposit.
I sold a painting last month from this Mountain Arts Network Gallery and it was one I didn’t think or wanted to sell. In fact most of the paintings I hung were what I had laying around in this gargantuan move. Still it was exciting in the sense that it is a new venture and I was told the couple that bought it "loved" it so what is better than money but love?
And yet I get an email last night asking for a date that I will sit in the gallery. Every member of the gallery must watch it for a day a month. Two days if you pay for an entire wall. In this email I learned that the gallery is moving into Lake Arrowhead Village. Now at first you might say hey that is where the tourist go, but the gallery we have is right on the major two lane highway that runs through the mountains and people going to Arrowhead, Silverwood Lake, Lake Gregory or Big Bear go right by us. The cottage is quaint and authentic looking instead of a typical retail shop you find in every mini-mall. Also there is a meeting of the gallery artists tonight that I will attend to see and hear what the rationale was for this move. I think it a mistake, I will say it right now, March 31st. 2010.
