That’s what Friday and Saturday were. Although I still can’t quite reveal what I’m up to, I can say that shortly after my “I have exciting news” post, things took an unexpected detour. You know that kind of moment where you think to yourself, “Dang, I shouldn’t have said anything, I’ve jinxed myself!”
Our dining room table was completely clear last weekend...oh, it never ends!
So while things haven’t completely folded, it did require me to create a bunch of new stuff and in two days, I created 16 new pieces. That, folks, is a record by far. I have paint in my hair, glue stuck to my skin and dark circles under my eyes.
I feel like I could vomit from the brain I’ve had such a steep learning curve in such a short amount of time: tons of reading, research, consultation and understanding of legal matters
This is our kitchen island...the scanner has moved upstairs this weekend
Because of the tight timeline I’m on, everything else has gone by the wayside – it’s an absolute war zone in our home and the pics included in this post show how my paintapalooza has extended to all parts of the house (and the pics are a bit fuzzy as I took with my phone because I couldn’t find my camera under the piles of paper, paint, canvas and assorted art products!). David has been great at offering me support, yet leaving me alone to create like a madwoman. Wine and chocolates are my companions as of late.
This is our coffee table...note the wine glass 
And if things completely unfold and this opportunity goes away, at the very least:
- I have gained incredible knowledge that will suit me well as an artist going forward
- I have learned to push beyond my creative boundaries and create utilizing new styles/techniques
- I have lots of new material for my shop!
Gotta look at the silver lining, right? Gratitude at all levels.
Thanks for following along
