On The Other Hand...

Maybe not so dumb after all. Had I been in route to Miami, I would have missed an emergency gallery call today. Seems they managed to sell the same painting twice, and YIKES, is there a way to get another similar painting before Xmas. No way if I'm in Miami... no way if I'm carrying out a traditional, highly decorated kind of holiday (which I'm also trying to ignore.)

But... sure, I can do that! I just happened to have a 24x72 canvas in the works (they only need 24x60 but will take the extra foot.) Actually, I'd already begun a bokusho painting on it but it wasn't going anywhere so it's now wiped out and ready to start afresh.

As a bonus, my remarks about being bummed out for not going to Miami were picked up by Culture Grrl as a link back... maybe I'll be famous! I won't link this time, don't want to appear to be gushing! See previous post for the link. So... maybe my hermit habits aren't so debilitating after all. That said... I know they're all sipping wine near the pool now, palm trees swaying in the breeze. I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, I can even smell the salt air... ummm... drat!

It's a date, Flee... thanks for stopping by and offering to help ;-) BTW, I painted a clown with a big red nose when my baby was still a baby... he's now 36 yrs old. But thankx for that memory, too!

Geeze, Annette! I've already committed to pretend wine sipping with Flee ;-/ Wish I could, but best work through the weekend with the current challenge. An Atlanta gallery run would be good Miami pretending as well, wish I could.
