I started this one with a charcoal drawing and then brushed the paint right on top.

This was just all out fun, I spent an hour or two just pushing paint around. Sometimes I get so mentally driven (no pun intended) I forget about the most important ingredient ...that there is joy in painting. The really cool part about being an artist is that this joy can be delivered to others when they view the work. Painting ends up being more about giving it right than getting it right. So enjoy the ride!

how did they find you? Any advice you can give on getting a magazine's attention?
HUGE Congratulations, Peter! I'm so excited for you! Be sure to keep us posted when the article comes out!
Thanks a million Belinda. I'll be sure to let you know.
Ed- The So-Oh Gallery owner thought up the idea and made the contact. One way to get a magazine's attention is to make an appointment and meet with the advertising person or editor. Pitch your idea and make sure to show them how it relates to their audience.(local artist/ local scenes, history etc.) Most of these small town and city magazines always need articles on the arts. You just need to call and market yourself.
