Need help on where to get a start!!?

Question

I posted this an hour ago but I got no answers so I will ask this again..

Okay, I am 21 and I have been painting for as long as I can remember. Right now, I give the paintings to my mom to show an art professor she knows, and she was more than thrilled. She said my paintings were "moving" and she even asked me how long I have been taking lessons. When I told her "never" she was shocked. My paintings are more abstract and Im very colorful in them. I do alot of nature scenes such as sunsets, water scenes, etc. I live in Baltimore, MD, and I was wondering if there was anywhere I could go to show off my work and such. I just want to know how to get started. Thanks to anyone who could help

Answer 1

I live in Washington which is fortunately a state that loves its artists. But i did a little searching around on google for you and found a web site that has a bunch of art listings for Baltimore, Maryland.

Hopefully you can find one around where you live, but it also might be helpful to check out your local listings for art walks or art shows where you can show off your paintings. Ask the art professor also. But if you want to get your name out on the World Wide Web, sign up on Deviantart.com. It's totally free and awesome.

Good luck, i support my fellow artist.
