Blogs

When you have a blog, it's always on your mind first thing in the morning!  Whether or not you get side-tracked with your artwork, you sometimes get to it right away.  I have been so busy running around getting ready for the 'April in Paris' show that I am actually whipped to say the least.  Over the weekend I was still cleaning up my framed images:  unscrewing the frame, removing the matted image, removing the glass, cleaning the frame, cleaning the glass, re-framing, sometimes cutting a new mat - I mean I was on a roll.  So much so that I ended up stepping on a piece of my glass and breaking it!  I don't have that much non-glare glass left, but I think I have enough for replacement for this particular show.  That's when I left the room and stopped for the day.

Yesterday I went out to find another frame, just ONE frame for a digital print 11x17.  They have new digital frames at Aaron Bros.  It's not a huge selection, but I did find a gold frame that looked halfway decent for the St. Michel image I posted last time.  Today I'm working at the High Hand Gallery and I'm already tired.

I also got my Artist Statement together as the restaurant wanted one with no mention of a website, blog, phone number, etc.  I had three pages of paperwork to complete and mail that off.  I can have additional prints and cards, but I won't have additional prints since I only had two weeks to get ready for this, and I'm thinking maybe I'll take and display just the cards I have on hand of France.  I might have 20 - 25, but they just might not be the images on display.  My studio is a disaster right now.  Wednesday I'll be back in here, clean it up, and finish up with this project.  It's probably good that I'm working today, I need to step back as I'm feeling like this is almost like 'real' work!! ; )
