Tonight is the opening reception for Less is More: Small Works in a Great Space, the show that I was accepted to in Annapolis, Maryland. Unfortunately I am not able to attend, which bums me out because the invitation it stated that is was a "gala event" Gala just screams I need to find a beautiful fancy dress! and how often do I get to wear one of those? In honor of the occasion I thought I'd share a little bit about the piece that was accepted into the show. 
I entitled the piece March 25, 2012. (have I mentioned that I am terrible at thinking of titles?)  This was the day that Heath went to the UTC with a mega migraine. Once he was seen by a doctor, but before they examined him, they told him that he had to go to the ER because it was possible that he might have a brain aneurysm.  At the time I was still nursing my broken ankle so after Heath called me to say he was going to the ER I had to call some friends to help out. One brought me to the hospital and the other stayed home and kept an eye on Ruby. 

In the end, thankfully, there was absolutely nothing in the way of an aneurysm wrong with Heath. In fact, the doctors and the nurses at the hospital pretty much rolled their eyes at the UTC's diagnoses and made several comments about them "covering their asses." They gave him some medicine to make his migraine (yep) go away and that was that. I kept all of the paperwork we received at the hospital, including Heath's hospital bracelet, and used it for this piece, drawing and painting a neuron over top of it all. 

Now without knowing the above story someone looking at the piece might assume that it is meant something deeper than it really is,  but no, it is simply creative documentation of one day of our lives. like sands though the hourglass......
However, I really love this piece so when I noticed that the work had to be for sale in order to be part of the show I priced it (what I think to be) crazy high. This way if it sells, well, sweet! But if it doesn't it gets to come home to me and that makes me even happier.
