I am just back from the Piedmont Craftsman Fair and it was a beautiful show. Those people put on a class act and the work, venue and organization were beyond most shows expertise. I was a provisional member, since it was my first year, so not sure if I will be admitted to the guild or not. Those things I leave up to the art gods….no control there.

I have one more show to go. I can’t believe it. I’ve done 9 shows since September and I am ready to put my feet up. Unfortunately, I will be hustling’ until next Thursday because I am so low on inventory that I need to make some mid-size pieces for Columbus. Oh, yea, The final show is Winterfair Columbus and it’s kind of a monster. It’s at a fairground but there are over 300 artists…maybe more. Somehow we all get set-up without wrecking cars and killing each other but I’ll be damned if I know how. It’s a fun show to exhibit at, since I know so many of the artist’s there and so many people come back year after year to see me. At some shows you develop a following and it’s always a pleasure to see familiar faces. This show is like that. I have had my day of rest so tomorrow I’m back int the studio kicking it in gear.

After that show we are going to visit my youngest son and his girlfriend, Griff and Nereida in Marina del Rey, Cali. It’s not a long trip but since they aren’t coming home this year, we decided to head out there… After that, Keegs comes home for Christmas from Germany. BTW, she has a major exhibition in Berlin this coming weekend that she has been working on for over a year. Send up some good thoughts for her. She has the talent, the work ethic, the connections, now all she needs that elusive element-luck. Hoping she kicks ass. Please forgive me for bragging a little, but I am a pretty proud mama bear.

Christmas is on the back burner for now….wish I could clone myself…life would be a bit easier… Have a wonderful Holiday if I don’t post again until after. So grateful to have this life on the road. Thanks to everyone who has been a part of it. To wonderful patrons to good friends to helpful show organizers and to cool folks met along the way. Thank you a million. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
