I know that I have been a bit slack on this blog lately, but I promise I have a really good reason.
I have been busily getting ready for my largest group exhibition ever.
When I say large I mean the most amount of work I have ever had on display at one time, the actual number of artists involved is just four. A comfortable group of friends who share a love of art. Here is a link to details of The Image Makers exhibition… https://www.facebook.com/events/457818967605835
As well as being mum, wife and my normal Saturday morning job, I have also been doing my Artist in Residence thing with 4 & 5 year olds at kindergarten. This has been an enormous amount of fun and a huge learning experience (more so for me than the kids I think)…
And so my priorities have been even more skewed, away from housework, than normal. I have to admit that parts of the floor are getting decidedly crunchy, and there are two baskets of laundry that have sat there, in the lounge room, not sorted and un-folded, for nearly 2 weeks. (Shocking, I know).
But…. I have completed and framed 11 pointillism pieces, and 12 nudes, made labels, created catalogues, promoted the bejeebus out of the exhibition …
And, as a side note…
I am also very proud to say that one of the pieces I submitted to the Home Grown Exhibition was chosen to feature on the invitation … a personal achievement that I am very excited about…
That’s my bumble bee piece!
And so now, as we come closer to opening night of The Image Makers (Friday 22nd November) and most of the preparations are completed, I am able to take a moment …
To breathe…
To contemplate…
To enjoy…
I am taking a moment, to be grateful for this moment – to be thankful for all the circumstances that have lead up to this moment…
