Took the summer off and traveled. I cruised to the Greek Isles, Egypt, Turkey, cruised New York to Nova Scotia, drove to the North Carolina mountains and Greenville, NC. Glad to be home but, I could still pack my bags at the drop of a hat!
I'm showing work this month in Mooresville, NC. with the Mooresville Artist Guild, 103 West Center Avenue It's an encore of my latest stuff. Good to get the work out there again. The Mooresville Gallery is in the old train depot in the center of town. The whole downtown is beginning to revitalize. The quaintness and history are still there but it is becoming a creative hub. Galleries, restaurants, small businesses. Nice.
I'm now gearing up for some new shows. I pulled out the portfolio from under the bed; dusted it off and dragged out some of the "almost there but don't know what to do next" artwork. If I let work sit for a while and revisit it at a later date I seem to see what I was missing in earlier viewings and can find a solution to finish it. Then again, I can also look at some of those pieces and, having no idea what to do, quietly slip it back into the folder. Or, I have also been known to tear out the "good" parts and and stomp the rest of it over to the recycle bin. In this viewing, I found several with potenial for completion, three with no ideas generating, and 4 that lost tops, bottoms or sides and are in the running for completion. I have to have the work ready for the framers by Tuesday so that they are back in time. Ha, Fat Chance!
