Carlos Fentanes (CF): I have been following you for a while and I always find your site a source of inspiration. Your artists are very good.
I’m going to tell you a secret: in the future I’m going to be part of your artists, not yet but I’m getting closer.
Regards

Coastal Contemporary (CC): Thank you for loving us!! Keep up the great work.

Good starting, I did not ask them to review my work neither made a submission but I soiled the seed. Now they know who I am or at least they have some clues.

After this first introduction I have been actively commenting on their post and interchanging ideas, creating a dialog. Everyday we’re getting closer, something similar to the fox and the little prince. Now I’m not one more of this thousands of artists on the web, now I have a name and a face, in certain way I’m their tamed fox or vice versa.

This is a gallery that fits me, it’s not in a big city but closer and exhibit art that compelling me to be a better artist, and they talk!

They also have info about submissions:
