Everyone and their mom has a blog

SO.
It's been a month. 
I wish I could tell you that March was a whirlwind of productivity.
I'll tell you what it was instead.

PLACES I VISITED: PHILLY, POCONOS, BOSTON.

Philadelphia: Showed my first finished encaustic painting at Brutus, Be The Death of Me, an experimental art show at The Circle of Hope in South Philly.  From what I heard the show went well.  On a personal TMI note, I was in bed all weekend with return of the stomach ulcer.  Unfortunate.

Poconos: What can I say?  I visited my Delaware friends and spent most of the weekend playing Munchkin, drinking, and having great conversation.  I did attempt to solder some wire armatures for a paper sculpture I am working on but was largely unsuccessful.  Since returning to NY I met a Bard sculpture grad who has given me some good advice.  Round 5(?) of soldering will commence tomorrow or later tonight.  No pictures of those disastrous attempts, sorry.

Boston:  Practiced embroidery while my brother and sister cross-stitched, walked miles around downtown with my sister and took pictures,  and wrote a proposal for a local show.  More importantly, learned a new card game called Innovation which is loads of fun.  (This isn't relevant at all to art making but I guess this is now a half-assed journal?)

New York!:  Back home in Rosendale and applied to two shows just in time for the April 1st deadline.  One of them is the THIRD ALUMNI BIENNIAL EXHIBITION from my first alma mater, the Delaware College of Art and Design.  You're welcome for all caps, it provides emphasis.  The second is for the Roos Gallery's upcoming exhibition, Our Backyard.  I should hear back from both sometime in May.  

I started a new drawing which will be encaustified, and have several ideas for more drawings.  There is also a show at the Beacon Artist's Union featuring, (I think) 100 local artists, that goes up in May which I am participating in.  Not sure what I'm submitting for that, though, possible collaboration with Ms. Gleason.  Things are still crappenin' even if it took me a month to write about them.
