The Contributing Members Show at the Rockport Art Association begins in one week. Wednesday is the drop-off day for artwork. ,I have one oil painting and one photograph that I plan on showing. This year, between work and shoveling, I've only one oil painting. Actually I have two oil paintings and one goauche that I would like to show...but that isn't allowed. I have to pick just one.
So my selection for this year is:
 |
| #1 (maybe?) |
Now the added problems of what to title it and how to price it. I've had several titles chosen for this particular painting - The Moon's Motive, Moonlight Motive, My Motive. On and on. What one must understand with all these titles is that
real Rockportoricans call the Motif the Motive. I may just keep it short at "#1" (for its full name of Motif #1...or Motive #1).
Pricing is another dilemma when I must consider that the frame, alone, cost about $100, the painting is large-ish at 18 X 24, the entry fee is $5, yearly membership in order to exhibit in the one show is $40 (or maybe it was $35, I can't remember) and the BIGGIE, the RAA charges a 40% commission on sales.
It'll all get decided by Wednesday and per my norm, I will not be satisfied with any of it!
