Now what?

So, my show is up and the opening was terrific. Shari has some wonderful work. I think we are really on solid ground with the work that we are doing. True Art is a terrific gallery. They have truly done wonders for us. They were so wonderful with every detail. Scene Magazine referred to our show as a "Gold Mine", due in large part to the wonderful backing of the gallery's owners. If you are in Cleveland, stop by. Any show that may be in there is a good one!
So now it seems that everything is going well. Heck, I've even have stumbled on a new body of work. So any artist would just sit back and leisurely enjoy the fruits of all of the hectic activity that took place prior to the opening, right?......UGH....Now I find out that I have yet another opportunity to show, which I would love to do, but the work needs to be in before the 29th. The problem is, teaching is taking so much time, the school year has started for my kids, and next month I start teaching my first college course. So I am nuts. It seems that as much as I am relieved when there is a lull in my crazy life, my anxiety over the prospect of having no work (holy cow, will I EVER get another show?) is equally as great. After all, aren't we all afraid.....No matter how many successes that we've had....That we may fall short? Don't we all as creative people wonder if the muse we had relied on for so long is dead, or perhaps worse, mortally wounded?
The past few years have held so may surprises for me. So rather than let anxiety wash over me, I think I'll grab my board and ride the wave.

OK.....so here goes.......

OK, so my friend Shari has been dogging me to start blogging. Why? Will it bring me some internal liberation that will somehow trump my sometimes uptight self? I doubt it. But, I chose to plow ahead into the unknown with the promise of possibly meeting people with similar interests and viewpoints, or perhaps even more exciting.....meeting people with conflicting viewpoints and divergent interests! OK, Shar, here I am, globally exposed. Perhaps I will be found to be an unappreciated genius (gee, that'd be nice), or possibly (and more probably) My fate is to be the village idiot on a much grander scale. Either way......here goes.......
