Ces deux dernières années, j'ai tenté ma chance en me postulant à 9 expositions. J'ai été admise à cinq d'entre elles et j'ai remporté deux prix. Pour moi, ça n'a pas de sens. Je parle de cette expérience plus en détail ici: https://gwennseemel.com/fr/blog/2025/0602-expos-jury/

JURIED ART SHOWS ARE NOT OKAY.

Over the last two years, I experimented with applying to 9 shows. I got into 5 of them and won 2 cash awards. For me the numbers just don't add up. I talk about the experiment in greater detail here: https://gwennseemel.com/blog/2025/0602-juried-shows/

LES EXPOS D'ART AVEC JURY SONT INJUSTES.

Ein schneller #Sketch am Abend, sehr entspannend, ca. 30 Min. Meine Referenz war ein Foto von einer Nebelwanderung entlang der #Nagelfluh-Kette am #Hochgrat.

A quick #landscapesketch in the evening. My reference was a photo from a beautiful hike along the Nagelfluh ridge in the #alps

From my sketchbook from 2021. When you’re standing on the beach looking down the Bristol Channel in the rain and the sky looks like liquid and the flat wet sand reflects the sky and you feel like you’re standing in colour all around you. Acrylic in sketchbook. #art #mastoart #painting #acrylicpainting #abstract #sketchbook #sketching

I worked another hour, bringing me to 16 hours. So much leaning. So much squinting.

I worked mostly on the black and gray areas of the Currency Exchange. My lettering is shit.

Getting some artists to use a ruler is like feeding a cat a pill.
If you know, you know.

I will need a ruler for this larger piece of art. But I will fight it every step of the way. *hiss*

(I am both loving and hating working on large scale paper.)
