Patience is wearing some colour today.
You ever notice that you get to yakking with an artist pal and time slides out from under you without so much as a by your leave?
Today it just did that. Did some research, went in town to the hospital (SMH) to measure and check out the hanging system for my April 1 show. By the time I corralled a volunteer to hold the other end of the measuring tape, I was running so far behind I was first in the world race of turtles.
Met up with an artist friend for a quick coffee and to bounce ideas. Then off to the local arts council office to meet with the executive-director. She had all kinds of useful information and paperwork galore. Lovely smile too.
From there to the printers to check on an order. By the time I was finished the proofing, it was nearly dark. I knew Patience was waiting sitting on the easel all by herself.
Me? I was dying to get into the studio and sling a few licks of paint around. Patience was waiting. Everyone in the world decided to phone and none of those calls could be ignored.
But I did it! I got in there for a little while. Patience forgave me as I adjusted the background some more. Made more decisions about the lay in of paint, took a rough shot to show you where things stand today and well...
In no time at all things will take off like a bat out of Hades.
Patience will be happy wearing her own face and knitting up a storm.
In the meantime here is
