Art My first art exhibition, at the opening, two people came beyond my wife. But that made me very happy and I thought it would be nice to share with you.

I don't have the guts to walk into a gallery just to look lol. Very impressive work, and to put yourself out there.

Ugh yes! I always feel so awkward in a gallery. Especially if there aren’t many other people in there.

Audubon had to go to Europe to get his first book printed. You have to market yourself and build your community. Find fellow artists and co-exhibit. Maybe give lessons and have students participate. Keep going!!!

Unfortunately, appreciation in art is complicated. People are either too tired, live too far, aren't informed about expos, never understood what art can offer to them, or think art is just a bizarre market of paintings somehow being sold for millions. I hope this doesn't discourage you. I think your work is pretty good and show your dedication!
