First solo show - need advice

Rtaeger

Recently I wanted to attend for the first time a local art guild meeting that was being held at a well known non-profit community art gallery. Upon my arrival the Director of the gallery informed me that the meeting had a last minute change in location and had started an hour earlier. When he saw my disappointment, he invited me into his office for a friendly get acquainted chat. As we chatted, he asked what kind of work I did and I showed him my web site. Upon reviewing my work he made some kind remarks and then offered to show me the rest of the gallery. A half hour later, as I was standing at the door to leave, he asked me whether I would be interested in a solo show next May that would run for a month. I was completely surprised and was almost speechless as I had never been offered such an opportunity before. Now the challenge is to have 20 new paintings done by then! So, my question is simply, how do I go about getting this effectively accomplished?

Thanks. Ralph

You can also ask Devon @iwanttopaintrealism‌ , I believe he is working on 15 pieces for a solo show as well.

Fantastic news on the exhibition.

If i were in that position I would select a theme.
Say, 10 urban landscapes of the heritage attractions in the city.
And 10 portraits of the people most associated with those buildings.

This appeals to me as subject matter but I'm sure you could link similar sets with other subjects.

Thank you everyone. Very good thoughts about how many I have to actually paint, sizes, themes etc. It is exciting but scary at the same time. Ralph
