Planning the Projects
Now that one of the most exhausting art shows of my life is over it's time to get back to it and start planning. Today Josiah went to school and I covered some bases. I went to Niedlov's and got paid for a commission. Thank you Dottie! Another fan of Be Still! Then Eden and I walked down to Hollis and filled out some simple paperwork. It was cool talking to Sandi and getting a feel for what needs to be created for my December show. She left the opportunity for an opening reception totally open to me, so of course I'll sick Joel on that for a great idea. Hollis also has November open for a show and Joel and I are trying to think what we can do to help Sandi fill that gap. Hmmmm, any ideas? My Metro I piece sold at Hollis during the Gallery Hop, and that rocks. The Metros seem to be the pieces that I will shoot for for December. So plan to see some more mini metros and at least one large Metro to go in the front window. Mmmmm, nice.
Jan and Roger my next door neighbors have a wonderful space in the same building as Foodworks in North Chatt. They are some of the nest neighbors we could have asked for. They are grandparents themselves and very easy going about the kids. We're pretty close to feeling like we could leave the kids with them for short periods. Anyway, we went over to their space where they offered us beers and gave us a tour. They have a loading dock, a place to pour cement, and a mini kitchen. Jan showed us her beloved mitre saw and offered it whenever we might need it. She offered me space to paint if I needed to do something large (say a really large Metro painting). She offered space if my paintings are in the way. She offered to help me patch canvases that have been punctured. She offered to teach Joel and I how to make panels. Like I said, these great neighbors to have.
I plan to continue to make watercolors and have them ready for the Chattanooga Market, and if nothing else they will definately be on Etsy. Whatever is left from Clothesline is now on Etsy. Including the Mini Metro: Bus Stop, Fawning, and 5 watercolor and ink studies. I will be making more beetles, more watercolor pods and maybe summore bunnies.
And then of course, I have to think of what I'm going to teach all these students I have. That's for another time.

Katie,
I'm glad you're doing more metro's, I think they are marvelous. I especially liked the one that hung at the bottom of the three at clothesline. I said to Josh if that one was huge I would have to start saving my pennies to get it. I love how you capture the peacefulness of a fawn in a meadow and the sheen of a city street at night. The gift God gave you is shining bright these days, keep it up. I feel like we never see you guys maybe it's time for another camp trip or at least a bon-fire.

I finally checked out your course descriptions. I'm so excited about you branching into less secure areas and doing this. You have so much to give these kids!
