The Beckoning Sketchbook


I do this to myself all the time. It seems like I have some time to welcome a "commercial" art project and then get commitments for my own art. Then I procrastinate on the "job", filling my time with laundry, all kinds of tasks that keep me from just getting the "job" done. (Yup, and here I am posting on my blog. Sighs deeply) I am super excited to get my work done and am giving myself two hours after this post to finish it up and send it off to the client. THEN the fun begins. I am in two upcoming shows. Anne Davidson, of the former Good Life, has invited me to be one of the artists showing our work in a shop on Lake Street in downtown Wayzata during the Art Experience, May 16 and 17. The other is an unusual and fun show. Ken O-Brien, a friend and extraordinary fellow I met through the Good Life, has invited me to participate in a show at Mudd Lake Furniture in Watertown. Add May 30 and 31 to your calendar! (Really, it is NOT very far from here...so don't let THAT be your excuse!) The event will feature a variety of artists' work alongside the furniture. (More details and links will come as I have them) It gives me a chance to do something that's been in my sketchbook for sometime...there it is...calling me! OK...gotta sign off now and get my "job" done, so I can get on to the fun stuff. Remember to check back for more details of upcoming shows! Have a creative day! Peace.
