I’m having a coffee house show at Blue Mug in Escondido, CA. I haven’t done one of these in quite awhile.
The fun part is to sit in the cafe and watch people look and comment on your art without knowing that the artist is sitting right there. A bit of a voyeur, I am.
At art openings only the people that like your art will talk to you. You get a one-sided view of how people feel about your art. It’s interesting to hear why they DON’T like your work. You can overhear how they feel about the color, subject matter, and composition of your work. It’s interesting hearing their views no matter how much a complete idiot they are.
Being an anonymous observer also makes it easier to follow people out to their cars.
Congratulations on your show! The coffee shop looks cool too.
Know what you mean about only getting positive comments at openings. My bf usually cruises the venue and eavesdrops on people’s conversations to try to gauge reactions to the show. He’s very discreet.
I went by there to see and it was really cool ^_^ I had a slushie, It was neat because my mother finally got to see your prints and she really likes the one with the Goldfinches. Im glad you finally posted it too because I was worried that you weren’t going to brag like you normally do XP
snicker. snicker.
If I lived close by I’d go! I don’t even drink coffee!
They have really good slushies and tea there besides coffee
Two questions, were is the blue mug and do you have more images of soft sculpture. I’m going to be teaching the sculpture class at Palomar.
