HelloI know, it's about damn time I did another blog. Like I said before I really am not a good writer and so that keeps me away from here. I just read my friend, Joanne Vance's blog and she always fire's me up.
It's been a busy few months. Besides having strep throat forever and then getting a little sickness that Rachel had - I've been ok. Oh - I almost forgot…my back went out for three weeks. That was so much fun let me tell you. I'm healthy now. I don't know about in the head but the body for the most part is healthy. I'm trying to lose a few pounds so I don't scare people too bad on the beach. Yes - we're taking the kids to Destin for Spring Break. Should be fun. I'm going to take a few paintings down and go to some galleries and plead with them to take my work. The sad eyes usually work.
On the home front - Gallery 202 is having an artist reception for me on Friday, April 22nd. We're trying to decide if it being on Good Friday means anything bad, like no one will show up. People have the day off so I would think it would be good for a reception. Don't know. Write in and tell me what you think.
There will be a sculptor and a jewelry designer there too. Don't know there names yet but will let you know. The biggest news is that is about me. ME ME ME. I will send out invites closer to the date.
Finished up a large commission (4' x 8.5') so I thought I would share. It's the large picture showing. I also finished the Brentwood Fine Art Show as well as the Webb School Show in Knoxville. Both were great shows and sold well. I am really loving this new life as a artist. It feels good.
I will also be participating in Art Fusion this year. It is held at the Factory and is the weekend of June 4th. I hope it is a good show. Just had lunch with my friend and fellow artist, Doug Regen and he is going to help me figure out a way to showcase my art at this show. It's a blank space and so it is up to me to build the stands and what not to hold the art. With Doug's creative ability - it should be cool.
Well - I will sign off. Hopefully I will chat with you sooner than later. I hope to blog every week. Yeah, right. Cheers and enjoy the Spring.
