Beginning this past week I was placed on the City of Sacramento's citywide blog, Sacramento365.com as their March featured artist.....and I've had a great response to my work being seen on their blog. No sales yet, but I've had loads of comments from various people who have viewed my work on the blog. One never knows where this will lead and when something will develop, but the exposure is definitely worth the effort to get my work noticed.
I finished my last two commissions, they have been picked up and I have been paid. I have NO projects in the works, no deadlines to meet, no commissions to work up, no gallery needs display wise at this very moment in time....something that doesn't happen often. No I can plan for my next series of artwork...which I believe will be to tackle a series based on floral/flower design. I am slated to be one of the featured artists at the gallery later this year and this is the time I can hang new and different work in my display without it having to be juried/approved by the general membership...so I'm thinking it will be floral work, which no one in the gallery is doing right now except for one acrylic painter. I plan on keeping it as simple as possible, using loads of hand dyed fabrics and my own hand drawn images as I want to perfect that side of what I do. I would say I'm not a drawing type of person, but I should be, so I'm going to tackle that part of the deal.
Hubby possibly coming home next Wed after almost 60 days in the hospital and rehab facility...and finally I will be able to have a full day at home for the first time since this all began in January....way too much stress...all I know is that I need a vacation and can't see that happening any time soon. Lynn is doing much better, is walking well with his walker, standing for balance, changing clothes all takes a huge effort but he's improving day by day. He's going nuts in rehab, making me nuts with all his phone calls...and then I'm there from 11am to 6pm everyday...weekends even more because nothing happens on the weekend....a long journey and I'm sure it will continue even when he gets home.
