Finally got into a show

Decided that the best way to get my art into motion was to take classes again. So I started with the local art museum and it got me going. Was able to get 2 pieces completed and entered and accepted into the "Woman for Visual Arts" show that was this past Feb 2007 in Florida. It may have helped that one of the judges was my teacher at the art school. But I would like to think that I got in despite that. Here are the 2 pieces. The tall one is named "Ocean Waves" and it has great tonal aquas and greens. Everyone in my art classed loved it, as I always did the opposite color palette from the rest of the class. I always choose cool, grey colors and they all used earthtones. My color palette always looks like concrete. Must be because I am from the big city. When I change to earthtones, which I do like, It just never feels like me. I like all colors, just always seem to go to black, white and grey. Since I had to submit two pieces of art, I did a mate to this one but didn't love it as much (that is the one to the right)
