Well, it's been a few days since I last posted. We've had so much going on. (Isn't that the way of it)
Anyway, both grandmothers are on the mend. My step-son returned to his home last night and the holiday is over. The dust is settling and it's time to get busy.
I am to meet with my 1st real commission client today to deliver her painting. I'm so excited and nervous. I really hope she likes it as much as I do. I'll keep you posted.
Went shopping this weekend at my favorite art store 'Jerry's'. Bought a bunch of supplies and I've already been painting today. I love going to that store...it's like Christmas.
On to a big item: The Exhibition opening on Friday night.
WOW. I was blown away. To walk into a gallery and see my lone painting nestled among so many fantastic painters' works made me feel both humble and honored. Me...the one who only dreamt of something like that. I was so nervous that I felt like I would throw up and stunned and excited all at the same time. I didn't place on any of the awards but I didn't care. I actually had a painting in a real life gallery - wow!!! I would love to see my work continued to be shown at galleries but even if I never get exhibited again, I can say I did it! Just this once.
My family and friends came with me and then later we went to The Hibernian restaurant to eat. It was a great night. Thank you VAE, my Friends and Family. You rock!
I finished my large 36x60 painting for my step-son and he took it with him last night. I think that he really liked it. I'm glad. :)
I'm still a swirling ball of emotions right now. Behind my eyes are so many things that I'm thinking about doing and about a series I've been encouraged to pursue. I'm learning so much, so fast. I'm so very thankful for every moment of it all.
Anyway...enough of me gushing....
I hope you encounter some wonderful surprise today!
~Peace
