I am just now starting to get back into the groove of artsy things since Oliver died. I was at the studio one day last week making plaster molds which took much longer than I thought it would, was incredibly messy, and not really exciting enough to write a post about. But I am happy that once they dry out I'll be able to produce work more efficiently.
Some good news, I did get into the exhibition that I applied to at St. John's College in Annapolis. (I found out that I got in the same day that I found out Oliver's cancer had spread so I don't think I had mentioned it on here) It was not with any of my ceramics work though, the juror actually chose one of my mixed media paintings. I would have been thrilled if the ceramics got in but it is going to be much, much, much cheaper to ship my little painting than it would have been to ship my ceramics! I was really hoping that we'd be able to make the trip to Annapolis so that we could attend the opening reception but unfortunately we won't be able to. That really bums me out because I am DYING to go on a vacation.
I am still waiting to hear if I got into the two art fairs that I applied to. I should hear sometime this week. Ahh! Honestly, I'll be content with either answer, yay or nay. If I don't get in I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and I won't have to shell out $2K+ for a booth. If I DO get in I'll be shitting myself both from excitement and shear terror!
