Pam Geisel's comment on my previous post gave me heart to do this one, and now yours (and Pam's comment--as well as Joan Sterr's comment) as well as some of the MVAQN members tells me I should continue.<br /><br />I started doing the postings of smaller and Ohio shows I go to because I felt that many people may have entered, but didn't have the opportunity to attend and see what else was in the show, or their piece hanging. In addition, I feel that there are a lot of good artists or pieces which are out there and do not have a lot of exposure to the greater world.<br /><br />I try my best to contact each quilt maker prior to showing the works here...sometimes it is difficult to chase down the quilters...sometimes using Google doesn't bring them up for me, in the case of Jean, I got lots of possibilities for doing geneaology on the Brueggenjohann name....but I finally "found" her through a query on the Artquilt list.<br /><br />Recently, I got a response from one of the artists which gave me pause. She didn't like the shots that I showed of Kathleen Irons Sweeney's work....it was "unprofessional." <br /><br />I don't put myself forth as a professional. In the case of Aullwood, some of the pieces are just hard to shoot. Then again, sometimes when I put the image up on the computer, it shows that it isn't as good as what it looked like on the viewfinder. Then, I am stuck in the dilemma of deciding whether I should leave it out, and risk alienating the artist, or include it and apologize for the image. Certainly, I don't show really awful shots, but I do the best I can and sometimes Photoshop Elements is cantankerous....at least on this old computer.<br /><br />A blog is a blog...one person's view of the world....and I'm grateful for your kind words because I too think it is important to both get the art quilters recognition as well as to share. I know that I am stimulated by seeing other people's work, and for many of us, we live in areas which are remote, have few shows, or have personal issues which prevent us from getting out. So...I will continue, professional or not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140675211931598431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325768748891153243.post-71135626653595112272010-08-22T05:37:24.329-07:002010-08-22T05:37:24.329-07:00Thank you for your posts about different artists e...Thank you for your posts about different artists exhibiting at Aullwood.
