Want to know what keeps a Central California artist busy?
I like lists. Have a look at what I’m working on this week. Notice there is nothing on it about actually making art. This is what I refer to as “The Business of Art” or an “Administrative” week.
- Preparing to give a presentation to the Daughters of the American Revolution next week. Why did they ask me? What do they want to hear? More will be revealed in the fullness of time.
- Putting away all the stuff from doing weekend bazaars, boutiques and fairs. This usually results in a big clean-out. Why do I still have this, that and the other thing?
- Gathering up, scanning and identifying old photos from Mineral King for a video to go on the Mineral King page of Tulare County Treasures. Why me? Because I deal in images, and Mineral King is my strongest subject. When you are able to help someone, it is good to say yes.
- Teaching the oil painting workshop
- Packaging note cards. Who writes cards? Apparently lots of people still do, because I ran out of this design and the reorder came this week.
Maybe today I will be able to plan for the next mural, the next oil commission, the next oil paintings to restock my inventory, the next blog post, the next coloring book.
That’s right! I was going to tell you about the new coloring book.
Stay tuned. More will be revealed in the fullness of time.
This Central California artist is never bored. Boring, maybe but never bored.
