Getting ready

School is back in session in 2 weeks. I have been going in often to get ready. I had computer classes all day today. I have some inservice next week to attend. I actually don't mind the routine.
We finally have scraped up enough cash to get the studio properly wired up for kiln use. Of course nothing is easy and this is no exception. The house feeds the barn with the electric. The house needs new electric service. So actually the house is getting new service and some updates in order for the barn to be updated as well. I really feel this is the start to getting things finally going. Once this is done, I can drywall, insulate and be on the way to making it look good and be functional. Winter is approaching soon and I hope to be warm once it hits.

So how was the opening?

I showed up a little early to check on things. Found a few things to fix, but nothing to fret about. I was really bummed that I forgot to bring my business cards. I also forgot to bring a camera. I must of been in la la land. I was happy the way things looked. I think we arranged the pieces as best we could. Clean white walls and good lighting always makes things look so much nicer. The crowd was a little small but the ones who were there had lots of good things to say. I met some very nice people as well. I'll try and snap some pictures in the near future and get the here.
Had a doctor's visit Monday. I'm still stuck on crutches for 3 more weeks. Argghh.

Show is up

Yesterday A friend of mine came and gave me a huge hand loading and unloading my work and taking it up a flight of steps to the Heescheen Gallery. Although I hadn't planned on hanging around to help arrange the show I ended up doing so anyway. All and all, I think it looks pretty good. I wish I wasn't on the crutches. I think I could have had better work and even been able to put a little more into the show.
I never care to much to just go see art on a wall unless it really kicks ass. I am a little shallow and like to be entertained a bit too. Give me some music, or interactive stuff, something to read, anything but just work hanging there staring back at me. I kind of think this show is staring back at me a little too much. I'll get some shots at tomorrow nights opening reception and post later.
