did something this past sunday i rarely do; attended a juried society exhibition, which makes no sense cause i work shows all year long, one after another, and yet maybe that says it all; attending a societal juried event is unlike working a show; attending versus working; and while i work a lot throughout the year, painting is all i do, is all i want to do, is all i love to do, and i find i do not have much experience attending events; they are rather new experience to / for me.
