I just found out that I was accepted into the Salmagundi Non-Members Exhibition! This show is put on by the venereble Salmagundi Club in New York City. This is the second year I was accepted, and it's really an honor. After last year, I thought there was no way I'd be able to pull it off again, and it really forced me to step up my game. That trip was really life-changing, and I met so many wonderful people. I really hope to be able to make it out there again.
I've really been pushing myself to take my work where it needs to go, and this trip was a huge part of that. I'm really excited to share some of the pieces I have in the works soon. I feel like I'm finally starting to say the things I need to say with my work.
My painting of my friend Josh is the piece I will be sending. People really seem to single this one out and relate to it, and I'm fortunate that I was able to convince Josh to sit for me. Well, I'm not sure if it was me or a few beers that did the convincing, but I'd say it worked out. Thanks Josh!
