Ahhhhhh…. The boots are off. The narrow toe, high heel cowboy boots that I wore ALL day TWO days in a row…on concrete Are. Off.
My feet have died and gone to heaven, heaven in this case being the top of the coffee table. They are officially nekked, except for the thickest, fluffiest socks that make them feel truly loved. Truly. Beyond truly.
The 2013 Open Studios Tour is over. Two weekends of welcoming the public into my workspace. Explaining what I do. Demonstrating. Talking about art. And life. And whatever direction the conversation leads us. Trust me, it went off in some crazy directions. Good crazy. And in between all of that, all that talking and demonstrating and hostessing, I sold some art.
And ate some chocolate. And was validated a hundred times over by people signing up for classes.
And looked two inches taller, twenty pounds lighter in those damn boots.
So now it’s officially exhale time. Five, ten minutes. Maybe a day. And then it’s time to put on the marketing hat and figure out what to do with all the remaining paintings, all fifty gazillion of them.
And plan those classes!
Meanwhile, my best best BEST beloveds, remember this:

Thanks Suzanne! I know if you lived a couple thousand miles closer you’d a been there 🙂
Here is a thought for your excess art. There is a theater in San Antonio, the bijou, and once a month they feature an artist. His or her work graces the very long walk to whichever theater one is heading towards. All of the art is for sale. I don’t think the theater gets a cut though I don’t know that for sure. It makes the theater look all the more attractive and interesting. Second thought, what about offering it to the homeless shelter in your area. It could be a rotating show if you don’t want to donate it. Somehow find a way to share it-joyfully, lovingly and you will be mightily rewarded! What about renting it out? Hmm..wonder where that crazy thought came from? I so love your artistic way of being. I’ve been away from your blog for too long. I am happy to be back.
