Well, I ordered a frame for my completed acrylic painting that I intend to enter in a club show.  It arrived, and it did not look good on my painting.  My mistake.  Oh, I do have another frame for the painting, a plain one, and I will use it.  Actually the new fancy frame could be used on some future painting.  C'est la vie.  This spring I have a temporary office job, and that fills forty hours a week, so paintings are reserved for the weekends.  Also I go to some other artists' receptions.  One thing about the temp job, it will never become permanent, so I make plans for my summer to be doing more paintings.  I am also trying to find some arts and crafts shows to visit and to enter.  It's a life.

As of today, I have finished an acrylic painting and am going to get it framed for a late April show.  Also I have an oil painting that is dried and varnished that I may enter in that show.  There is a possibility of another show, starting this month, that I am trying to get juried into with some more paintings.  I wish I could say, spring is sprung, but it's still winter here.  Well, thank goodness for art, or I would just have next to nothing to do in the cold days.
