Entering shows



It is always a challenge to enter an art show competition. You may know a few details but so much is not known, who is the juror, what type of work does he or she do, what is your competition, what painting do you feel best represents your own work? Many times a painting is acceptable to one competition but not to another. Right now I am debating whether to enter a competition for the Regional Space landscapes showing open preserved, space in parks such as San Antonio or Saratoga Gap. Do I have the time? the talent to match against some very realistic painters and photographers.

I have a painting shown of a visit from three years ago to Arches National Monument. Is this what the juror is looking for? or is something more abstract acceptable? Right now I have other things to attend to and will have to wait until November for time to review the open space landscape paintings. It should be interesting.
