I Joined the Attleboro Arts Museum and Started to Paint Again

Yesterday I joined the Attleboro Arts Museum. They are an active group, having a number of talented artists, a gallery, and a number of events in which I plan to participate. These include exhibits, both juried and other. They have a sophisticated website which has links to member artists and their own websites and work. I'm eager to improve myself and will be able to better gauge my development against artists here as well as in Taunton.  The brief look I took of the artists' work through their own websites indicated to me that the level of artistry in Attleboro is more advanced overall than Taunton. Maybe that's unfair because I have not had the opportunity to see much of those in Taunton. There certainly are some talented artists in Taunton. At any rate, this will give me an additional venue in which to have my work exhibited and see.

There is a members only exhibit which is juried later this year. I was told that there will be over 300 works exhibited in this. This compares with 123 in the Taunton Fall Show.

Today was cold. I used some of the day to begin painting. I have chosen 12-15 photos of mine to paint. I am using a time-lapse feature in my iPad to capture the work. I will post the videos of completed works from time to time as I finish them.

Book News

The golf is slowing down due to the cold weather, as expected. I am resuming work on the book and am now at 32,000 words. There's a seemingly long way to go to finish this story. I've got a bad guy character who is also responsible for the line of the story which deals with the UnZombie theme. UnZombies are dead which have been reanimated but don't bite or spread the infection, well, at least through biting. Our bad guy hero has found a way to gain some functionality out of them. That's all for now.

Painting News

There is an Exhibit at the Taunton Art Association for all ribbon winners of the Fall Art Show. I had two. One was the Best of Show. The judges' comments can be viewed to the right on the card they provided. It said "Contrast of Color/Cohesive...Nice Black and White vs. Color Composition/Dichotomy". The Exhibit goes on through November 24th on Sundays from Noon-2 P.M. at the Art Association building on Williams St. in Taunton (thus Nov 17th and Nov 24th are the last two days).
