You go girl. I hope you have the most wonderful time.
Sandy, Jennifer, Laurel and Logan came over today and they also took home some paintings.. It has been a very good opening week, and am so pleased this barn show enterprise is working out better than anything I've ever done. After lunch I went out to get the show all rehung, It's a real scrambled up mess now, after finding more artwork in the garage and then all that went on yesterday with the sales. So many pieces are gone it's starting to feel like I'm running out of paintings. Not really, but maybe need to get busy and make some new ones. Anyway with a little rearranging now, there is room for the pieces that didn't get on the wall.
The painting inventory sheet is all caught up and ready to print. It works as my master price list. I usually update it a couple of times a year - last was 10/07. There are 3 pieces that sold who knows when to who knows who. I hate when I rely on my memory like that instead of going and writing it right down. Then some months or years later I wonder if it really sold, or what happened to it. So much is done so casually that it's easy to be lax about it. Someone picks out a painting or two, hands me the money and I say let's go have some cookies and ice tea. It's lucky the money gets to the bank actually.
I'm offering artwork by other artists out of my own collection again, but only want to sell it if someone truly likes them and they will go to a good home. I've had some of them in the barn show other years, and no one has expressed any interest so far. There are several quite nice ones though.
Cranes Today Outside the Studio Window.
Debbie sent me a nice blessing this morning that I've carried in my heart all day. And had such a nice message from Nanny - something about having wings. It reminds me of when I was a little kid and my dad always said my skinny shoulder blades were angel wings. Betty called for our weekly visit. I had a very good day,
Thanks for all the encouragement and good thoughts and prayers you all are sending. They are much appreciated and I believe that is what is working best for me getting well. Momentarily I seem to be having less pain. For so long it has seemed like the Tasmanian Devil was in there. The chemo just keeps me so tired, sometimes I wish I didn't have to do it and could be normal again.
The pots and shrubs needed watering again and I got some more weeding done this afternoon and am about ready to soon get some weedeating done, probably a little at a time. Beautiful again today and plenty cool.
Zane came by this evening on his way to Cody and then home to Denver after spending time on the ranch. He took the first batch of my slides to be scanned and put on a DVD. From there I can access them on the computer and do any editing or use them on the web page. The originals are going to the Museum of the Mountain Man along with the book collection. Poor Zane had no idea of the amount of photos I had when he volunteered for this job. You have my undying appreciation for doing this. Thanks, Zane!!!
