In times of stress, it’s so important to keep your sense of humor – and be flexible.
I’m thinking of the specific moment in time that you see here when we were attempting to hang the egg paintings in a straight line.
I was supposed to move the nail up a half-inch, only I was so tired that I moved it down! Bonnie captured the moment with my iPhone for posterity. Fortunately, we weren’t too tired to laugh about it!
Earlier in the day, I spent quite a while arranging paintings on the front steps, only to have Bonnie come home and tell me the display wasn’t working. While I already knew this which is why I asked her advice, it didn’t make me happy to hear it out loud. Nor did I know how to fix it. Apparently Bonnie did because here’s what she came up with – and it looks great!
For two days, I had experimented with numerous arrangements of small and medium paintings on this front entrance wall, and nothing felt right. When I unpacked this new and larger egg print, I knew that it belonged here (hiding the numerous holes beautifully!).
As a result, I had to find a new home for these, which ended up working well against the brown (aka Oreo Cookie brown) walls of my studio. Looking at this is making me hungry!
In the end, somehow everything came together – as it always does – and I even got some sleep Friday night. ( I also sold two paintings off this little wall – the Oreo and the Reese’s.)
Having said that, next year I am going to start my big push to get ready for the Open Studio a month or two earlier. Maybe that will help cut down the last minute stress, always a good thing. Right?
Yeah, we saw a looser David in his acting in NA.Hope we get a David that will show his natural sensuality through his music and be confident enough to know it’s ok to show that side in his perfmroance in 2014.
