The Big Brother
Our boy Josiah playing in our painfully tall grass. Our lawnmower died. Maybe it's just the battery.
Our friends wedding for this weekend has been cancelled at Fort Walton beach because it has a mondatory evacuation. Joel has been on the phone with John (the groom) trying to give him as much emotional support as possible. Either the dream beach wedding will be postponed or we have to find a pretty place in Atlanta for this weekend. This is why I got married in May.Of course, I didn't know that then.
Dropped of "Community" at Cobb Galleria today for the Jubilee Arts Alliance Show. It will open tomorrow, but the reception is Oct 1st. If anyone would like more info or would like to attend I have postcards I can send. The funny thing about this show is that there was a size requirement. 
It couldn't be larger than 48x48. Since a few of my works push that measurement I was a bit depressed about what I could enter. See, I love excuses for showing my older huge works, because honestly, I like seeing my work from a mile away. The impact is impressive. But when I dropped of "Community" it still was one of the bigger pieces I saw, but not by much. It would be wierd if it sold. "Community" is funky, covered in linseed oil drippings, caulk clumps and masking tape lines. I love running my hands over it and realizing that, "No that's not dust it's part of the texture". Hehehe. At one point while working on this piece water leaked on it from the ceiling above. My landlord was so apologetic but it kinda worked. I mean it's oil paint and caulk, two things that repel water! Still $450 would be nice, maybe we could fix our lawnmower.
