I thought you were going to wait until a gallery would take it to showcase it?

i've spoken to several local galleries and although they like it they are not accepting new artists for shows due to the economy. and it's a hard sell, can't sell the series as a whole because it is too big, and it's not big enough for a show of it's own. plus i'm done with it. time to get it out of my studio. i'm in prep stages for an entirely new body of work.

That sounds like that would be an awesome resource. I used to do that years ago, but it's been awhile. The paints on my palette have changed enough that I probably ought to!
