My Art Work For The Vicksburg Art Association Spring Collection 2023

Saturday, April 29, 2023 18:06

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

For the first time ever, I entered four of my pictures on canvas after joining the Vicksburg Art Associaiton Exhibition at the Firehouse Gallery. I have always wanted to do this but finally got around to do it now or never. Since I went early to bring my canvas pictures in, I was lucky to get three on the main Photography wall. The Magnolia Corolla, Magnolia bulb with raindrops and a Panoramic of the American Queen.

For the Spring exhibit, I took a photo outside one night of a Japanese Magnolia Blossom and was placed on the bottom far right-hand corner that was not entered in the 2023 Members Exhibition brochure of the showing.

Since my Japanese Magnolia flower was not entered and skipped over, I was very unhappy since he told me when I went to pick up my canvases that that one had been photoshopped, and I told him no, it was not. I went outside and took that picture to see if it would work. Here are my responses to him and his responses.

Hi James:

I have been waiting for a long time to join the Vicksburg Art Association and have been encouraged through the years. I did not participate because my former husband got involved and eventually won a ribbon for his artwork. I finally joined and was excited to place my artwork for the show.

When I came to pick up my four artwork pieces Wednesday, you said I only had three. I also entered one for “Spring” of a Japanese Magnolia flower on a dark background. When I showed it to you, you said it was Photoshop which upset me knowing that I had walked out in my front yard and taken the picture in the dark. At 82 years of age, I have no idea how to Photoshop anything. I thought you had my phone number and email address to contact me, and this would not have happened, and my artwork would have been entered.

I wanted to let you know how I felt being a first-time member. Unfortunately, it had to happen, but you should not assume something without contacting the artist and ensuring everything is alright.

Thanks,

Marian Ann Love

Marion,
I apologize if I offended you with my comment. I did not mean to imply that there was anything wrong with the photo or that even there is anything wrong with photo shop correcting an image. Many artists correct their photos electronically and it is a perfectly acceptable thing to do. Artists use to correct their work in the dark room all the time by dodging and burning when they printed before photography became digital. I also apologize that your piece did not make it onto the program. Unfortunately I missed it because I can only assume it wasn’t recorded on your entry form which is where I get the titles for the program. I assure you it was on the judges work sheets during the judging. I hope you will continue to enter your work in upcoming shows because I think it is very good.

Regards

PS: It was recorded on the entry form and also on the back right-hand corner of each canvas with my name and the name of the picture.

A mother, stepmother, grandmother and great grandmother who was taught deer hunting by my second husband, Bob, in my mid-forties. I’m still hunting today and loving it!
