A painful episode with Lyme disease (which hopefully had a furious onslought and was nipped in the bud), wedding planning ( then thank you's and albums still not completed) and the daily life of to-do's:
participating in exhibitions, being the main caretaker of my 3 year old, teaching art classes, working almost full time bartending and using whatever hours are left of the deep night to paint and to keep my career going...
I usually try to complete about 10 paintings every 3 months. I am painfully aware that I haven't put new work "out there" since may. But my rush to get new work out there and to keep the momentum of my career going doesn't always synch with my creativity or the unavoidable restrictions of my life. I aim to do my very best in all things. Sometimes there's just too many "things"... Including the need to rest. Arg.
Luckily sales have been stable despite all of the way lays. Amen.
With all this being said, there is a body of work that I've poured a great deal of my heart, soul, body and mind into. I aim to have my photographer out to take photos of these pieces by the first week of November. God willing, they will be strong, poignant and many.
Just keep going...
