Art by Shelley Jones

My involvement in art began several years ago. My daughter enjoyed little drawings of castles, characters, and such. I than began to expand, taking it a step farther with painting and such giving myself some pleasure. I found myself feeling refreshed. It elevated the mind from the "everyday" allowing my thoughts to wonder off into a "place" of no stress, no laundry. I fell in love with that "place". I have tinkered with painting, sculpture, wax, photography, and digital art, all of which I am mostly self-taught. At this time I have "somewhat" settled on photography and digital art. "Somewhat" meaning I still relish the freedom to work with the other mediums. Looking at my portfolio you see that mixture of those different mediums. It is said to pick one or two to display, and just play with the rest. A "rule" of the trade. In other words "you can only have a piece of apple or peach pie". Right now "I would rather have a piece of them all". Art is a freedom to express. At this time I am "expressing".

"An expert is an ordinary fellow from another town." (Mark Twain) Esoterica: A jury that thinks it knows what will sell is the most dangerous jury of all. Even a jury that selects for "modern" sensitivities is suspect. Better to give your stuff to a commercial dealer with questionable taste than to subject yourself to a committee. Sales-and-rental galleries generally send puny cheques to artists anyway and, curiously, the work always seems to come back with damaged frames. Further, by renting works, they interfere with the legitimate commercial market that serious artists need to survive. With the exception of gallery darlings, most successful artists never submit for any other reason than to help out in the community. ________________________________________ Painter's Post: Every day there is new material going into this feature.
