There is always something to do in the last minute.
In fact some people rely on the last minute to get anything done! My solo show
was quite different in that respect for me. I had things under control about
two weeks before the delivery date. At least I thought so. I am not so good
with the business side of things; although I did do a lot better on the
advertising there still is room for a copious amount of improvement. For
example I received an email from a wonderful reporter for a local newspaper
wondering when I might be ready to let him know about the upcoming show…. That
was on Monday. Sigh. I did not contact the other media even then… Sigh again.
It is a Freudian slip showing I prefer being a hermit. Of course that does not
sell paintings. All in all the reception was remarkable in that so many people
did attend and so many of them wanted to stay longer than usual. Some promised
to return with someone else so they could contemplate the paintings more
intensely. My work does inspire contemplation. I suspect that is because it is
a product of contemplation. I love what I do. Life is good.
