Musings of an unhinged mind.
NOTES FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL
Hi Friends,
In the last few months, the trying out of several shows new to me here in the Northwest has met with notably less than success. It's been awhile since I have found myself in that position, and it's always a humbling experience. Two almost in a row is downright painful. But the worst of the back to back weekends are behind me now.
So now that the schedule has some breathing room in it, instead of the frantic, driving for miles, lunatic pace that it has been lately, I find myself in a major letdown......you know, sort of the depression after a really great party. Even if this party hasn't been all that great, at least it's been interesting.
Oh, I won't be wasting away with nothing to do.....it's just going to take some analyzing to sort through the good, the bad and the ugly. There are still Wildlife and Western shows, Wildlife Scratchboard Etching workshops, private students, commission work and producing new art pieces that will take up any slack time. And not forgetting doing up some brochures or other reach-out-and-touch-someone-reminders-that-I'm-still-alive mailers, too.
The latest in the auto memorabilia works is this little beauty......
"Hell" (c) 8x10" Scratchboard Etching
The product of a warped imagination, the title for this one fairly leaped at me while viewing the photo. The destruction of this vintage racing Porsche came about when it hit the tire safety wall at 100+ miles per hour.
A project on the board right now is a book of Wildlife in Scratchboard Etchings. The book will be an art book loaded with images and a few stories about some of the animals in it, all at a very affordable price for gift giving to the animal and/or art lovers on your holiday shopping list. (Technically I didn't mention the C word yet.) It will be available later this summer.
Happy Summer to you all....keep coloring outside the lines,
Sandra
