I finally can take a little breather and get back to a normal pace. ( I actually went shopping for a jacket on Thursday. I haven't shopped for clothes since last spring! )
The past two weeks have been non-stop working, among other things. But much was accomplished, in spite of losing one client and praying a sick family member would pull through after an unexpected surgery. I'm no different than anyone else; sometimes we just get busy and work on overload. But it always passes.
Our Fetch a cure pup named "Puptart" had her debut last night at the Fetching Art Show held at the Glave-Kocen Gallery in Richmond. ( Thank you Jennifer and BJ for offering your wonderful gallery space to benefit Fetch a Cure)
Here she is
in the studio the night before delivery. Those are puptreats from the Three Dog Bakery on the side. Three Dog is our pup sponsor.Thank you to Alicia who designed the pup and to Mike for helping us with the chalkboards ( not pictured here) that accompany the pup.
Anyone on my client wait list and e-mail newsletter list knows that every May and September I participate in various art shows. Which means I spend much of April and August working on new paintings in addition to the commission work I do. I completed 3 new paintings ahead of time for the Fetching Art Show last night ( which was a fabulous exhibit of 12 artists who have various takes on animals in art). It helped that those 3 pieces all started as demonstrations for classes and workshops.
So I'm back in the studio for commission work this weekend and back to photo shoots this month. I didn't say things came to a halt; just that it's return to normal. I'll also work on a new batch of my smaller square pieces for the spring shows. Here's one painting finally complete that you may recognize from previous blog entries. The title is "On the Tip of My Tongue"
