I’m starting off the year with the first art exhibit at a local library in Mount Vernon, Indiana. I’ve got the month of January, and my art is installed on the walls now. Does that make me Miss January? ha ha… hardly. The lighting is pretty nice in the hall when it’s bright out. The sun was a little dodgy when I took these photos, but I still get a kick out of seeing my art on the walls.
I get to hang a bio sheet next to my paintings and I’m allowed to include cards beside each painting that have the title, media, size and price. Maybe I’ll sell a few or maybe I’ll just bring a smile to someone’s face as they walk into the library.
Isn’t this a nice space? I felt like my paintings were a little dinky in such a vast space but the color in my paintings doesn’t let the person walking by ignore them!
I think it’s a great thing that the library supports local artists by letting them exhibit their work in the lovely halls. The wall tiles are volcanic tiles, aren’t they pretty? I thought they made a nice backdrop for my art.
If you’re in the area and would like to see the art exhibit in person, please make your way to the library by the end of January.

If you’re thinking to yourself, hmmmm… this looks familiar… it is! I had an art exhibit there in December of 2012, but with different paintings of course. Here’s a photo from that…
Way to go Jaime! It looks beautiful! Happy New Year!
Thank you Jana! Happy New Year to you, too!
This looks wonderful, Jaime! I think the large space makes your art more attractive. People have to get in close and take a look. What wonderful start of the new year!
Thank you Anne, I never thought of it that way. I told the director that my art looked kinda dinky in there, hah ha… I like your way of looking at it! Thanks Anne.
