4 months ago she told me about a chance for "new up-and-coming artists" to get a free booth at a local art fair. I told her she should apply, "the worst the can do is say no."
Well a month and a half later the results came in and she was picked to present her art! A couple months of a mad dash to paint a few larger canvases, and get some quality prints made and framed...it's finally showtime.
If you're in the KC area come out and support your local artists (or don't, im an Imgurian not a cop.)

Tiny Octopus thinks that that's exactly what a cop would say. (Also, neat paintings! Good luck!)

I am a bit disappointed that there isn't a tiny pineapple in all of her paintings.

Congrats
mthrndr01
By the standards of pineapples, you're actually pretty big. I'd guess that you're probably top 1% or better in pineapple terms
knobcopter
Extra thicc pineapple.
justanotheruserwithtoomuchtodo
Whoohoo!! Congrats to you ☺
Solaralyn
In all seriousness, I am in love with your flower studies. If you are ever willing to sell, they will have a happy home in the US for sure.
tiniestpineapple
I'll keep ya posted after the show. Just getting my bearings in the art show world. Thank you for the compliment!
MrLunas
Cool, but never show WIP. Only show your best.
knobcopter
Tell that to the dude who draws the nude chicks and makes front page with them half drawn.
MrLunas
I said they were cool, what do you want? From one professional to another, the message is the same. Never show anything but your best.

Westport Art Fair takes anyone.
knobcopter
With the cheaper booths and and popularity, it’s really difficult to get in. Luckily she won her way in through her art.
ItsJustATribute
a different story, but they can barely get any good artists to show up for the Westport one anymore.
ItsJustATribute
Uhm. No. That's not actually true. My parents are KC Artists and they helped with this fair. Literally anyone can get in. Plaza Art Fair is
tiniestpineapple
Actually they don't take anyone. Varies year to year. But glad you felt it necessary to downplay my accomplishment.
ItsJustATribute
They do actually. It's not downplaying it's just a fact of the matter.
tiniestpineapple
My mentor for the event has done Westport multiple years in a row. Last year she wasn't accepted. Btw, what was your parents booth number?
dangerwasmymiddlename
Very cool! I'm assuming plaza art fair?

If I ever end up in the Kansas City area, I'll be too busy carving my name in a ceiling beam, before hanging myself.
knobcopter
Can I have your stuff??
jackalope2196
Sure, but by the time I get to that point, my entire estate will probably consist of a tattered copy of the Bell Jar and a heroin cook spoon
knobcopter
All I'm hearing is "gains."
jackalope2196
OK, done. I'll draw up the papers. I'm sure KnobcopterArtistsSpouse will be enough for my probate attorney to identify you.
