I must start by saying in my review, I am very grateful for having the very wonderful opportunity to be in an international art show with so many other very talented artists. That said, I must also say that the art director did not do the show justice by being so disorganized and the gallery space was cut in half at the very last minute. Not all of the art work submitted was actually put in the show. Several artists were very upset that it seemed disorganized and that only a few of each person's art was actually on display.
However, the talent at the show was out of this world! Beautiful, very well executed Equine and Western themed art works from every one was on display from all over the world. Some very large works, like the drift wood sculptures of a bull and bear right down to the very small paintings. It seems that sales went very well and people passing by had lots of wonderful compliments to give to the gallery. This show was filled with such wonderful talented artists from all over the world even as far away as Italy, Canada, Australia and many other places. I wish all the best to every artist I met. It was a pleasure having my art displayed next so many other talented artists. Even though there were quite a few hick ups to the show, I would be more than willing to do the show again under the direction of another more professional art director. May the Cow Palace have many more Grand National Rodeos and Art Shows to come.
This was first time my family and I had ever been to San Francisco California and we had a lot of fun. Seeing the sites, museums, art, culture, aquarium, pier 39 with the sea lions and the plant life was so beautiful. We ate to much, and walked a lot, but still could not see it all. I want to go back one day to be able to go on one of the whale watching tours and maybe get even more inspiring photos to work from to create more art. So with that said, we will definitely plan another trip for the future.
Thank you,
Jodi Bauter
