Bad Posture

Tonight was the student exhibit annual art show at Watkins College of Art & Design. 200 pieces were submitted, only 30 were accepted. I was among those 30. My piece was the double-exposure of Long Hunter State Park. It is a photograph that has now been in three different art shows. I am proud of this image, but I fear that I have lost the excitement of "art shows" - the general anxiety that follows with each one of my own has hit the roof. I think one of the factors is that I cannot take compliments well- this is something I must work on. On the other hand, I love going to other art shows, and encouraging my friends to submit work. One of my goals in the future is to own a gallery, but maybe this is just wishful thinking.
