When discussing my career choices, Toby says I should treat my art more like a business. We talk about doing more shows and working at putting myself and my art out there. The Chisholm Trail Arts Council has an Art Walk this weekend. Last year I did not participate since it was on my anniversary. This year I'm gonna do it! It is this weekend!
Of course, like all good procrastinators I have waited until last minute to get ready. So much for being businesslike. Actually, it was not all my fault. I only got the notice for the show on Thursday of last week. I guess there was some sort of mail mix up.
The Arts Council was more than willing to let me join in last minute. All week I have been framing and matting and working on getting paintings ready to hang. I'm not sure what I'm going to hang them on, but we are working on that too. I bought a tent/awning thang. It is all coming together. The above photo shows you what my den looks like. It is getting better. The paintings are ready to hang. Then while I was cleaning up, I found three more paintings from my trip to NM last year when I painted with Jo. I may go ahead and mat and frame them too - while I'm in the work mode.
Now I'm need to fix my man some supper. A woman's work is never done.

Yahoo! Sounds like good fun work. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteDrink plenty of water, it's hot and humid in Oklamexico.
ReplyDeleteJo,
ReplyDeleteI tried to follow your advice from your email. It was helpful.
Fanboy,
I was prepared with my trusty fan and extension cord.
I was thinking it was more than a week away. I hope you got to talk to lots of folks. Did you take a photo of your booth? Shows are a lot of work but always/usually/sometimes lots of fun. I do think I like to talk as much as I like to paint!
ReplyDeleteJo, I did enjoy the show. You're right about the talking-it's the best part. Well, there is the people watching too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you! Loving the craft of creating through ever-evolving mediums is what makes us prosper.
