Finally

Ok I have finally figured this thing out. I think. I am not just real computer literate at times. And being a middle aged woman with way to many things on her mind this just gets to be frustrating at times. While my two daughters seem to be able to just look at this sort of thing and ping! its figured out.

Well, it is a rainy Friday. I sat up just about every night this week working on 2 ceiling medallions for a client. I was very disappointed in how they were turning out until the very end. The airbrush was spitting and sputtering. I have got to go and find me a really large compressor. Maybe by the end of the summer I can justify that expense for the business.

Being a commercial artist in rural America is hard. People tend to not take you as seriously as you might like. Which makes me doubt my ability at times. But then I look at my work and I think WOW! I actually created that portrait. I have such ability at times. I don't know where it comes from. Sometimes it just wells up in me like a spring and other times I have to really search for inspiration.

Yesterday on my trip to Oxford to see the bone doctor for the last time (yeeha!) I was listening to my oldies and the Beatles Lucy in the sky with Diamonds came on. I really started seeing a vision of the girl with kaleidoscope eyes. I think that may be my next painting. A girl with lots of long hair in a typical artsy pose and her pupils will be kaleidoscope patterns. It'll sell.

I have several more commissions lined up that I need to start on next month as well as finish up the museum things I have started. The museum is a labor of love. I volunteered and now that the weather is changing it is getting way to hot in there for me to work. The a/c isn't hooked up yet and I really loath sweating.

Welcome to my Pink Flamingos Nest World. It is always a trip. Sometimes a good one and sometimes a convoluted weird one. They will name a mental illness after me some day I am sure!
