Accumulation

Accumulation seems to be part of the human makeup although some are better at it than others. It has been two weeks since I have been out of the studio and I have noticed a decided accumulation of papers around my computer indicating things are not getting done. Being sick is a nuisance. There is so much I wish to accomplish in the short month ahead. I am in the process of evaluating some very old work, reassessing, reducing and preparing for the new grand opening of my little gallery “Inspirations”. I hope to have some new work to show and things are moving…. slowly…. I have been warned not to push myself too hard, too soon, or I will end up back in bed. Sigh. Let go. Go with the flow… I think I prefer rapids…. It felt good this morning as I added a few more layers to the panels I am readying for the new mixed media series. I have decided to once again send out my blog the old way as my new website is still waiting for my finishing touches. All is well and all will be well. The world will not come to an end if I miss my deadlines… I am having trouble believing that…. Relax, breathe… Life is good.

Suspended

Hello world!! Last Monday I was in bed with a 40°C fever and today I am still dragging myself through the day. For all intents and purposes life as I know it is suspended until further notice. There are several monumental happenings coming up very quickly like the grand reopening of my gallery “Inspirations” on the 2^nd April. I begin drawing classes on the 30^th March and my new website should be up and running sometime this week. A few deadlines for submissions are also rearing their timely heads and what am I doing? Sleeping mostly. Cancelling appointments. Making it through each day. At last I surrender. I will be making an appointment with the doctor tomorrow just to make sure I don’t have pneumonia or something serious. I am so done being sick. On the up side I have released some extra weight and my contemplative prayer skills have definitely improved. Next Monday I hope to introduce you a fully integrated system with my blog, FB, Twitter, all through my new website. Life is still good.

Fundraisers or Working Under Pressure

I really do not know how well the fundraiser for the Lois Hole Hospital went. I do know I had a blast. It was so much fun working with two models at the same time. The up close part was a little difficult as the perspective was not the usual being that I was looking up thereby making the heads a lot smaller than what is typically expected. In the end eliminating the heads made the drawing easier…. Off with their heads, I say!! I love having control… Of the three drawings one was auctioned, one was sold and the other came home with me. There is one aspect of this art business that eludes me. The fellow who bought the sketch is completely unknown. I forgot to ask his name and his contact information so I could pester him with invitations to other shows. Sigh… It is a good thing I have a husband who provides food and shelter… among other things. Life is good.
