Only a few more to go and I have my last 16 canvases all set out with little notes about what they're going to be. I'm feeling really excited about the upcoming show - I will deliver all of the paintings to Weems Old Town on either Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning and then probably go home and cry a little. Just kidding! It is kind of sad to be almost done - I've never been more proud of any work I've done since I started painting, I included amost everything I've always wanted to paint, and tried several new subjects, unsure about my ability to interpret them up to my standards. I think I succeeded pretty well. I am just so excited about seeing them all on the Weems wall that I can't hardly wait. At times during the last six months, I have felt like life was passing me by in many ways; I don't cook very much any more, my house is not spotless, my poor husband doesn't get much attention, I've done no yardwork, and I am barely making it to the gym. But then I realized - THIS IS MY LIFE AND I LOVE IT. I do have to pay more attention to my husband tho, he is great for putting up with me.
So what's next after this: The LAVENDER IN THE VILLAGE festival in the middle of July, a 5 day paint-out in beautiful Taos, New Mexico, and a trip to San Francisco with the family. Then it's straight back to painting for Weems Artfest, my most favorite art show. Wish me luck on the last 16....
This is on my top 5 favorites! i love how lines in the field and on the rooster mix yet the colors from them keep them separated. it's a really awesome piece!
