At this moment, the best word I can think of to describe how I
feel is “stupefy” - yes, I’m immersed in the final Harry Potter book.
The past month has been pretty intense preparing for
exhibiting at SURTEX, and today it’s all over. This morning my brain is hyper stimulated (3 days of
business meetings and socializing) and my body is completely exhausted. Unfortunately
my mind hasn’t quite caught up that it’s okay to slow down, so I’m finding
myself agitated and wondering what I need to do next.
I don’t think it helped that I didn’t come up with the idea
for my booth until the week before the show, which was very scary to say the
least. I had to muster up a truck
full of faith and not panic and believe that the idea would come, and if not
I’d figure something out. Poor
Elliott had the tough task of printing all the artwork last minute, but he did a
great job and I’m thrilled with how the booth looked.
I had a great time at the show, catching up with clients, artist friends and showing my new work. Who knows what the outcome will be, but I’m excited that the new direction I took with my work got a great response and I can't wait to get back into my studio and delve deeper…… well maybe I can wait a couple of days.

Have a beautiful, restful and long weekend…and keep the faith!

Dear Darlings Del and Diane,
DeleteAfter writing that sentence I badly want to find more words that begin with a d....but alas....
It was so fantastic to spend time with you both and I am so happy you had such a great show. Your work Del is just shining with love and fun, just like yourself. And Diane, you are a powerhouse and I'm in awe of you. I hope you both have an amazing follow up and enjoy a good restful weekend and get lots and lots of cuddles from your wee ones.
Here's to cosmopolitans in 2014, whether it be in Atlanta or Harlem!!
