Deadlines......

The High Hand Gallery Artstock show is up and running and I have art on the wall. For awhile I really wasn't sure if I would finish in time.   I'm happy I finished but now that it's up where I can see it better I can tell which pieces I attached around 4:00 am. I don't know if anyone else notices but it bugs me. That's the problem with waiting until the last minute - there isn't any room for error.



In addition to the Artstock show I still needed to finish some new artwork to put in the gallery for this month's rehang. I finally finished two new pieces this morning at 4:00 and got them to the gallery on time. Whew, now I need to keep the up momentum and finish some more so I don't end up doing the same thing next time a deadline comes around. I'm taking a collage class at American River Collage so that should keep me motivated... especially when projects are due.   Here are my latest pieces.

My Artwork for Artstock

Finally finished my art work for Artstock.  First time I've tried working large format.  It was a challenge after focusing on jewelry for so long.  Here is the final version on my kitchen floor after I finished it at 5:00 this morning.  I really need to stop working so close to my deadlines.

Each piece is 21"x49".  Almost all the elements are things I found and repurposed.  The images are from my Urban Jungle series.
