Description
... and a full view of the piece.The paper size is 18"x24", my largest personal work to date. I did another commission on this size paper that went from end to end but that was a while back. I haven't done anything this large just for myself.
I will complete most of the area while leaving just enough to make it easy to mat and frame.
Contrast values are off again but a photo from my camera is the best I can do until its complete and ready to scan.

I will... I worked on it a bit more, actually a LOT more from what shows in the picture. I took a photo to post on DA but it didn't turn out so well. I will be taking another one soon and get an update in the next few weeks.

Thanks very much... hopefully there will be more. I worked on it Saturday at one of my shows but there is still a long way to go.

I have to learn more about doing shows, haven't even done one yet. I did enter "All Things Considered" original in a local county fair in Idaho and it won a few awards, but that is it as my show experience goes. Any advice?

Fairs are a great place to start... its a nice feeling getting rewards like that.
As for show experience my advice is to just start somewhere, anywhere... the doors start opening up the more you get into the 'show' scene. There are a lot of events that have opened up for me simply from entering one show, now I have to cut back my schedule some times cause there are so many I can choose from.
When you get out there more you will know which ones work best and which ones don't for you. But for now do any and all that you can until you get a feel for the niche in your area.

You have to figure out where your market is in that area, what people are most interested in and try to fit that interest. But as artists we create what we are passionate about and most times dont have a match with the buying public. Still, it is possible to find a niche in your area. Listen to the public's comments, what they like most, what they are buying. You can learn a whole lot just from observation.

I think I might have replied already to this comment, however if it didn't go through then I will say again, thanks for the suggestions I am grateful! I found out to day that the local newspaper wanted to interview me to be a featured artist on a story of the upcoming art show at the local art council. I was interviewed also today, and I am hoping to be exposed to the local community. I hope it will also help my niche find me and me find a niche. We will see what happens.

Thank you very much for the suggestions I will take them to heart. I just learned today that the local newspaper wanted to interview me for the up comming art council show that I will be entering a piece. I did the interview and hopefully I will find where my niche is and the western art niche will find me. I will check out clearbags.com too. thanks again
