Well, I've either kicked myself into gear or totally fucked up. My one remaining gallery called yesterday to see if I would participate in their annual anniversary show. Yes! I told her. Because I really want to be included but I only have a little more than two months to produce something. Not only that but I'm pretty sure all our plaster and silica flour we use to make molds is too old. And it's hot in the shop though I can make space in the air conditioned room for mold making. In fact I have a table that I can move in there for that purpose. And not to mention that grandgirl Autumn wants to come for a few days in July to make some clothes.
I can do this.
Actually, I still have the last wax model for the four big drowned feather pieces and I'm thinking of different combinations, maybe not all four, maybe just one combined with the feather on the rock piece.
Other than that I don't have much. SHARE was finally busy with 16 or 17 clients and most of those were large families so we got rid of a lot of food. At one point the guys were emptying baskets faster than I could fill them. And, of course, yoga last night.
And a few photos...
the evening sky,
new growth on the ponytail palm,
yes, another picture of the plumeria but, wow,
Minnie tucks her head under the pillow, she's done for the day but the light is still on,
and the white orchid tree has started blooming.
Yes, you can do it!! Your artwork is so beautiful. I love that feather on the rocks. Great clouds and crepuscular rays, and flower photos too. All wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYes - wow to the plumeria. There is nothing like a deadline to encourage purposeful movement towards the goal. I do like the drowned feathers.
ReplyDeleteGo for the show!
ReplyDeleteAnd as always your flowers are spectacular.
You can do it
ReplyDeleteYou can do it, and do it mighty well.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so fresh and beautiful. You surely have 10 green thumbs!
ReplyDeleteI sort of feel like Minnie myself sometimes.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a deadline to either raise the stress level or get you motivated. Or both. Love the photo of Minnie.
ReplyDeleteYour plants are as beautiful as ever!
ReplyDeleteYou'll do it. And whatever it is you do, it will be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are amazing. That ponytail palm looks like something from the Jurassic era.
And dear Minnie- bless her little/huge heart.
It good to have motivation to get you going with your art. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMy last gallery shut it's doors. Yes, we do have to keep working.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you said yes! You'll do fine, and I'm eager to see what you come up with. Now, that ponytail palm -- I don't know quite what to think about that. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like it -- but your plumeria are gorgeous. I hope your mosquitoes are gone. I realized today that I haven't seen them around for a while. I hope this next bout of rain that's coming doesn't reinvigorate them.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see what you come up with! At some point you should do the plumeria (unless you already have?). It would be a LOVELY subject!
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of Minnie -- so funny! The ponytail palm looks so weird now with that new growth on top of the huge trunk. I have faith that you'll come up with something amazing for the gallery show! Sometimes we all need a deadline.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that you have opened up time for art work. Yaaaayyyyy!
ReplyDeleteAlways love seeing your flowers and other plants.
When I took a short nap today with a portable fan running in my bedroom and the portable air-condition keeping my small living room space just under 80 degrees (104 degrees on my porch at noon -- the silly vinyl the condo association chose to install on the floor of the porch makes it really really hot out there), I bet I looked just like Minnie (-:
Well, isn't this what you were waiting for? Wonderful news and I am so very much looki g forward to your work.
ReplyDeleteThe plumeria is just stunning.
