Art is to grownups as toys are to children.
Art is what allows our imaginations to run free.
Art is what opens our minds and lets us experience.
Art is what helps our hearts heal and allows us to feel.</description><link>http://willowoakart.com/</link><managingEditor>noreply@blogger.com (Melanie)</managingEditor><generator>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>1</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>25</openSearch:itemsPerPage><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997597080864907298.post-3825923096379910972</guid><pubDate>Wed, 31 Aug 2011 03:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-08-30T19:33:32.080-05:00</atom:updated><title>So much for deadlines . . .</title><description>&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I missed the deadline for the gourd festival. But the good news is one of my pieces made it into the Pennyroyal Juried Art Exhibit! So I'm okay with the gourd thing, and I'll finish my gourd sculpture in the next few days/weeks and be happy with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm also hoping to get some 2-D work done pretty soon. It'll be here when it happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt;In the meantime, I'm reading "Starving" to Successful&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);" class="st"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; | &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;The Fine Artist's Guide to Getting into Galleries and Selling More Art&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt; by Jason Horejs. When it shows up, I'll also be reading Linchpin by Seth Godin. And I'm working on my Etsy site; what a horrific thing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt;hanks for visiting The Realm.
