I often come back visiting the gallery , as I said, but am I alone? Few new people show paintings.
I'm disappointed: I would have thought that there were plenty of oil painters in "America"!
Anyway, these paintings are really good works: There are too few of comments about them. Why?
Will this comment be read? Any hope to get a reply?

You're welcome. You have talent. Definitely keep membership in mind. It's $60. We host several exhibitions. Our Online Showcase has a $14 entry fee, but the awards are substantial. The money could keep you in painting supplies for quite a while.

im glad to be a member. no i have not entered i'm working on the watch painting its a long way off rather large work i paint very slowly some times also have been working with my custom made shoe Co. so not a lot of time i will get it in before the end of the year no point in rushing if its not going to help it be the best i can paint.

Definitely enter something once you feel it's your best. You're correct that there's no point in rushing. There will be plenty of exhibitions to enter in the future.

I have made a mental note to join as soon as I can. I am a single mother and my art is my only income. I was depending on a sale of a requested painting to catch up with my rent and bills - and it appears as though it has been lost in the mail in route to the gallery on Cape Cod. It was due to arrive the day after the hurricane hit the east coast, and is most likely sitting somewhere between New York and Boston. haha Damned my Irish luck. So, am sitting here 2 months behind on my rent and bills, hoping the painting gets found or I sell something else fast. I do plan on joining as soon as I get caught up a bit though. Thanks for the invite

I'm so sorry. I really hope you're able to get your painting sold and get caught up with things. Best of luck to you.
