The Other Side of the Road

Maybe I am making the creative process sound too romantic. It is, but………

I spent most of yesterday packing up some paintings to ship to the Susan de Witt Gallery in Naples, Florida (if you’re in the area, she has a beautiful space), making arrangements with the shipper, making sure I have the right export forms, filling out grant application forms, planning an exhibit in May, ordering the necessary canvas stretchers. Today I have to pick up some slides (that were duplicated) from the photo store, pick up some paintings that were photographed, submit the grant application (with fingers crossed!), and tomorrow the paintings (in cartons) will be picked up to go to Florida. Meanwhile, I have to sort more slides for various applications, galleries, duplication, etc. My dinning room table has seen more slides than food on it. Sounds like fun? I am happy to be in a situation where this is what I can and need to do, that my work will be seen. But it is not painting. Maybe tomorrow.
