More about that next time I post! I should have said, in the FPAA we're actually encouraged to advertise each others exhibitions too. We're sent invitations to hand out for the "big one" every 6 months, whether we're taking part or not. Oh, I definitely had a green eye thing going on for a while at the exhibition!

I often look at something and think "Damn I wish I had thought of that." :) I like the support each other at exhibitions. That's a great one. Admire someones work is totally different.

They have certainly given me food for thought. I must admit, I <b>do</b> feel jealous of other artists (mostly at class). Not as regards to sales, but if they produce an amazing piece of work I can't help thinking "I wish I had thought of that". Not in a nasty way though. But I am learning that just as every artist has their own style, every customer has their own taste. Having a variety of artists means there is something for everyone. In the FPAA artists work to help each other, which I think is great. Some do open studio days, some do demonstrations, some do framing for other artists, and we're all encouraged to support each other at exhibitions. I need to get more involved really, but half the time I don't know what planet I'm on! I must have missed your previous post, but I have read them both now and they are both very interesting.
