Related: About this forumHaving my very first art exhibition March and April
I'm in Pope County AR, pretty much ground zero for the total eclipse in April.
Of course the theme is eclipse. I'm honored and terrified at the same time.
I've never tried to sell any of my art so this is kinda scary.
One painting will be of Joe Biden wearing eclipse glasses instead of his aviators.
Advice is welcome! I need to have 7 ready

(584 posts)you love your work, I assume. So go in strong with your work and stand proud. When you love it, they will love it. "They" will be those drawn to you and your vision in your art. Good Luck with this. It all has to start somewhere, be proud.

(12,028 posts)I thought I'd be cool to have Bill Clinton wearing the glasses too. Considering he's the most famous person from Arkansas.
Also, that pic of Nancy in her glasses, wearing the read jacket. Change it to eclipse glasses.

That'd be pretty cool.

(1,739 posts)... NOT FOR SALE. If someone likes it enough, it might be a shot at a commission. Worth a try.
Congratulations, and good luck!

Supporting a rural Art Center is pretty awesome. I hope all the visitors during the eclipse will check it out and possibly make some donations.
I'm trying to work with the local hotels to allow artwork displayed in their lobbies. Lots of amazing artists here could easily fill the easels.

(35,903 posts)You have to have an image hosting site, upload it there, then link to it here. I use imgur.
