avadSaturday....
Day:Paint marker work on the kitchen table on a 2x2 in progress...second layer spaces.
Afternoon:Stopped at Padula's studio/workshop to discuss backings for my artworks, different woods, etc. Brought nails to hammer into various types and thicknesses to see what we could get away with in order to make the pieces lighter.
Eve:Then met up with the gang (Bunny and Ladybug,Pony, Vitamin V and Dan) and we all took the ferry to Shelter Island for the Small Works Exhibition at Boltax Gallery that I have an artwork in. Had a great time and enjoyed the wine.;)My piece was sold!:)! it's a teeny one (like all the works in the show obviously) but still it's a happy-making thang.Yapping with some other artists I know and love there (like JM)and just feeling the love of being around my crew.My piece was called 'Friends' and showed a network connection of many points...and we had fun deciding which point represented who. New friends (artist ES and his wife/gf)joined us for dinner in Sag Harbor on the way back...They just bought a house on Shelter Island. wow. *sigh* To be able to buy a house...*daydreams*
But
I guess I'd be MORE jealous if I wasn't personally so creeped out by the idea of being stranded on a reeeeally small island with a reeeeally small town feel. I do think Shelter Island is beautiful in the daylight/sunset and to visit...but something....eeek...something gives me chills. it's tooo isolated.? I love solitude. But I need to feel it's a choice. And that when I need to...there are places in reach to go to and be around people. Like a main town nearby that includes a healthy flow-through of people I Don't know. Maybe I just don't trust my sanity enough, I think I would go off the deep end there, lost in my imagination without a thread. I know just where I'd love to live. I hope it's possible one day. I think it will be.
(optimism is good.):)

Date: 2004-09-06 04:44 am (UTC)...I know I haven't commented nor contacted in AGES, but I'm still here, lurking about, and still promoting you to everyone I know as one of my favorite artists, of all time. (oh wow...is it embarrassing to hear that? From me? From anyone? I feel like a groupie saying it, and it's kind of embarrassing, but I kind of don't care...*grins quietly*)
I plan to email you with more than just a manic comment. In the meantime, please take care, and big packages of good luck with everything that's been going on.
