I've just booked my first solo art show

[Gary Blanchard]

There is a neat coffee shop near me that reminds me of the hip coffee shops in Baltimore during the 1980s. Wonderful quiche, espresso, and jazz playing in the background. We have been going there once a week lately.

Just like those coffee shops of the past, they have art by local artists on display. Today I decided to inquire about showing my paintings. I have been booked for July. I am looking forward to it. It gives me time to do more paintings so I can choose my best for the show.

Since playing guitar is getting difficult, I am happy to have a different way to express myself.

Gary, I like art that looks like what it is supposed to be—not woke stuff like this.

Have you thought about painting something nice like this?

Yes, but my skill level isn't there.

I still miss the TV shows.

Congratulations! A solo show is a big deal.

If I had someone to book the guests I would love to do the show. The logistics were just too much stress. I miss doing them

I assumed he was joking about you having a TV show.
I'm going to see one of my favorite artists in a few weeks. 71 year old Uli Roth. Poor guy lost a kidney last year. Anyhow, he's planning on a three hour show, and will be showcasing his oil paintings during the show.

I tagged you in the last post of the thread. My favorites are the art and music ones.

Some recent ones (the color is not quite the same in photo, but...)

That sort of dreck will never get you into art school. Better to go into politics.

Did you make a hitler joke at Gary?

Peen posted a Hitler painting. I was commenting on Peen's post.

That makes a lot of sense.

I made a Hitler joke at Gary. I’m surprised it took this long for someone to get it.

A couple of years ago, Carol and I did a Paint and Sip. I didn't sip much and was not happy with the finished painting. A couple of weeks ago I decided not to let the canvas go to waste...
