Getting ready...

Getting ready for an art show tomorrow, so tonight's post will be brief. My last art show was months ago. I bowed out for a spell to regroup, get excited about the work again, and get new ideas. Instead my interests traveled to new exciting places. I agreed to do this art show only because my sister asked me to. Well, and I knew it would be my other sister's first. I remember how scary my first art show was, and so I agreed. It was stressful getting my stuff together again, but it reminded me how I love doing shows. So, it has inspired me to make the next move.

All the art rage lately has been focused on the fairly new Riverside Arts Market. All the cool artists are there to see and be seen. No, I'm just kidding, but compared to the shows I've done, you could call it the "big leagues". I've been thinking about trying it out but just wasn't ready. Well, I feel ready now. I went ahead and printed out the forms tonight, and will be sending them off this week for the initial approval. It only lasts through mid-December before calling it quits for the "winter". So if I can get in just one time before the end of the year to try it out, and I like it, well that gives me til re-open in April to get more stuff made. Perfect.

I'm really excited about it. I spent the evening planning how to more "professionalize" my display, and I've come up with some great ideas. So, soon maybe I will be posting about my success there. We shall see. Until then, I will enjoy the smaller venues, like St. Luke's Catholic Church in Middleburg. The center of all that is artistic. Yes, that's Middleburg. Good luck to me.


Today was my third day in a row of seeing the sky again, and look how it's helped me already. It has inspired me to stretch my art show wings. I'm telling you, always look to the sky is my greatest piece of advice for myself, and others. As long as your chin is up, you will never want for possibilities.
