Art Swap

I signed up for Art Swap November 2010.  It is billed as a fun, and free, way to share and collect art with other artists.  Everyone creates a piece of art (see the rules for size limits and other info) and then on November 17th we will all mail our pieces to the person we are randomly matched with.  When all is said and done you email a photo of your piece of art to the Art Swap founder David Pringle to be included on the website and the Art Swap book, and you will have collected a piece of art from another artist somewhere in the world.

This is the first time I have created something to share with someone I don't know.  It makes me a little nervous that I won't be considered "good enough" of an artist for the person who gets my piece of art.  There are some pretty amazing people that participate.  I know I pour as much of myself into my creations as any of them but still I feel a little inadequate when compared head to head with some of the people who participated in the last Art Swap. 

I already painted something for Art Swap but I wasn't happy with how it turned out and don't want to share this one.  I painted it on a day I was feeling a little too dark inside and that really came out in the piece.  So I am working on something else. Something created with happy feelings.  Something I will be proud to send out into the unknown.

I am really excited to participate and I hope that whomever ends up getting my piece of art will like it, because I am pouring my all across the canvas for them.

If you want to participate in Art Swap you can still register until 11PM EST today!
