33rd WNY Regional in Buffalo, NY

 

Hockey Night in Canada; pencil on paper, 24" x 36"

When you enter art as a candidate for an exhibit, you recognize that the odds are against you whether only 15%, 25%, or even upwards of 40% gain entry.

And if the juror selects one of them then that's good although if they choose both then that's even better!

This is what happened recently as the judge for the 33rd WNY regional, Gerald C. Mead of Buffalo State University, chose both of my drawings I entered. 

What does that mean?  Not sure, since I am certain that those works he did not choose were not bad at all.  In any case, a two-for-one show provides double the exposure.

One of them shown above, Hockey Night in Canada, is the larger version of an earlier, smaller drawing, as is the other drawing, The Grand Calculator.

The 33rd regional exhibit's opening reception is Friday, September 20, on 1 Linwood Avenue a the WNY Artists Group Gallery and closes on Friday, November 1.
