Things are coming in to focus quickly now. My solo gallery show is 18 days away. When I found out what the dates were earlier this year it seemed like such a long way off, but as is always the case the time has gone by much more quickly than I expected. The postcards for the show arrived yesterday. The picture above is a copy of the postcard. Once the images were decided on then the work of picking how to print them and what sizes took some time. Prints start arriving this week. I have a storage unit setup with shelves to hold the images until it is time to hang them. Over the next few weeks I will be posting photos and articles about the show and some of the details that have gone into getting ready to hang my first gallery show. The edge of my computer monitor is covered in post it notes with lists and to-do's and reminders about the show. One thing I am making sure to do is enjoy this. I am being careful to not get so bogged down in the prep work and remember that this is in part a celebration for me about reaching one of my life goals as an artist. There are plenty left to go, but I am enjoying this one. Those artistic life goals are somewhere around here on a post it note so I don't forget. Below are some of the dates and times for events around the show. I hope to see many of my friends at the gallery while the show is on, but fear not! I know summer is crazy with vacations and work and such, I will document the show going up and the show for future posts.

The image on the postcard will be one of the big pieces in the show. 20x40" on canvas. I cannot wait to see it.
