bits of news......
It's been a busy week so far - I have an opening this weekend in Port Townsend, so if you are local, would love to see you there - Seagrass Coastal Home for Gallery Walk. And a wonderful bit of news - one of my long term goals has been to have local representation and that happened last week. I am thrilled to have been juried into Bainbridge Arts & Crafts on Bainbridge Island, WA. I made the jury appointment over three months ago and totally forgot about it until last week when it showed up on my calendar- yikes!, so I got all my stuff together, resume, statement, forms, etc., loaded the car with paintings and headed to Bainbridge not knowing exactly what the process was about. As it turns out, this is how they find their artists - you get there, unload your work and come back later in the day after the jury has gone over everything - they do this about 8 times a year and only do 10 artists at a time - they gushed about the work and kept three of the pieces, I signed a contract and BAM! local representation. I am just thrilled. The wax and oil continues and the painting below is on paper 24X19, 'Via Third Street'.
That's it for now. Remember to be logged into google/blogger if you wish to leave a comment, or poof!, it's gone - I have got to the point where I copy my comments before I hit publish just in case! Enjoy the upcoming weekend.

I'm still not getting this comment thing. I thought I was signed in and it still looks like my comment was eaten!
Anyway just wanted to say congrats and say you so deserve representation! Your work is amazing, great composition, use of colour, texture. Everything about it say professional!
Good show! I love Pt Townsend, great little art town! That sounds like fun too.
Congrats Jeane - representation is a prize to have - well done!! Your new wax works are a treat - will they be part of your new exhibition? Cheers!
I love the textural feel to this piece. Congratulations on your representation, a huge accomplishment!
Congratulations on having new representation, enjoyed hearing about your experience, always learning from others you know :-) Oh and this new piece, love it, you are really making it your own.
This is wonderful news indeed! Congratulations!!!
Your work is deserving of every accolade and I'll bet you're going to see more collectors and more representation in the future.
I am just delighted for you.
This work is glowing. So much confidence in this and so much beauty.
Good for you....congratulations! I'm sure that representation will serve you well! I'm so enjoying your new template...your 'pages' has convinced me to think about making changes.
Congratulations Jeane! Wonderful news.
Congrats on the representation, Jeane

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on the representation!!!!
I love this new one, they just keep getting more yummy.

first I want to say to everyone who is having trouble commenting -AAARRRRGGGGG!!!! - the same thing happens to me at a couple of blogs also - I'm signed in, I write my comment, hit publish and it all disappears and the old comment style box comes up and wants me to start all over again!!!!!! so frustrating - now I copy my comments before I hit publish - so I say thank you to everyone who has persisted and left comments anyway!!!! I am hopeful this bug will be fixed!
thank you Zendot so much! and thank you for persisting in the comment section xo
Wyn, thank you! no the wax pieces are all still in the experimental stage - need to see if they hold their integrity and how they dry, etc. :)
Hi JeMA, thank you, so glad you stopped by :)
that's the whole idea isn't it Bren, making the work our own, thank you so much :)
good morning Melinda, it is good news! so unexpected - a real gift so to speak - the wax and oil is so interesting and challenging - pushing me and that is always good - xox
hello Mary Ann, thank you - well I love the new template for it's appearance and how it shows images so well - perfect for any image based blog, however, the comment thing is so very frustrating, but I push forward anyway xo
good morning Robyn, thank you so much, so nice to see you here xo
so sorry Daryl!!!! it is totally frustrating - it happens to me on two other blogs that are using the new templates - you know you've done everything right and then BAM! it takes you back to the old comment style!!! and wipes out your comment completely - I copy my comments now just in case! thanks for sticking it out! xxo
hello Annie, thank you - so happy you stopped by :)
Well I'm thrilled too!
Juried in,,,only 10,,,total wow factor!
You so deserve this Jeane,,,,the
'showing up' is paying off, and I'm so proud of you. Someday soon,
we'll be saying "yep, I knew her back when".
This new piece you're showing us is so intriguing, and as always, the title is perfect. Spot on.
My second time trying to post,,,fingers crossed!
WOO-HOOOOOOO
she grins.
And one more time, just because I can,,,
heh heh
you made me laugh so hard Babs! getting a comment to stick here is pretty amazing! thank you for your kind words and yes!, showing up does pay off sooner or later - it just can't help it!! xo
Let's party!! Sorry I can't stroll round and take a look. Such great news. Raise a glass. Enjoy the feeling. Ax
My comments are up the creek as well, but I'm crossing everything for a fix!
good morning Annie and thank you! oh, the comment drama is a pain! I get jerked around on your site when I try to leave a comment now, so I just make a quick copy and finally get one to stick - write on! xo
