Rejection, it will make me stronger

5x7 inches - Lost Along The Way

SMALL WORKS SALE! 

There is a local show that I love entering in Fall, it is a nice show and works tend to sell (yes please). This year they had over 300 entries and yet I still had hopes that a few of my works would be exhibited. I have had several works in the show previously which sold and that is why I had great expectations. I have anxiously been awaiting word on this show and this morning, I got the results--not one work accepted! I will admit, that email was a little bit heartbreaking, I was very much looking forward to the show. So now I have to transition my thoughts and focus on moving forward with my art.

the 7" length is only as long as a hand

Yes, this is a small works show, and one issue that I think hindered my work is that the judges were unable to see (in a large image file)--how small the works really are. A close up picture (no hand) was used in the submission and I also included the frame size. With small works, the frame is large; framed these little 5x7 inch works would be 10 by 12 inches (that's a lot of frame). I feel strongly that the frame size hurt me in my entries. So, here I wanted to give a visual on the smallness of a 5x7 work -- the length of my hand, that is it! Tiny right?



What is next? Well, I have to work through my disappointment and move forward. I will offer my 6 small works at a discount (unframed) on my website. Please review my works below, one could be yours for a discounted price of $75 (unframed).
