We just got back from New Orleans and our last art show of the year. It’s kind of sad and I already miss the excitement of “where are we going next?” and fun of being on the road, seeing new sights, meeting new people… If it weren’t for the shows I might be a hermit, never leaving my studio or talking with anyone besides the cats. Thank god for the forced deadlines and the forced exposure. I thrive on it, maybe even need it. The expression on people’s faces when they see my work, the kind words, the ultimate compliment when my art becomes a part of someone’s home… Wow. Russ loves the travel too, he says it satisfies his wanderlust.
A few weeks ago we got a new, double-sized booth tent. It’s not that much harder to set up and take down, but the rewards… oh it’s like a luxury suite! The expanded size lets us show the larger paintings to a much better effect. You can actually stand inside the booth and look at the work without feeling claustrophobic. Nice. I'm looking forward to using it for next year's shows!
