Preparing for Exhibit

Good Morning,

 I feel like a writer staring at a blank page.  

I'm exhibiting at the Graton Gallery (Graton, CA) the month of May, I have a bit of artist block. I love the Graton because the partner artists are friendly and supportive.  I know what I do well--BIRDS, but as much as I love the details required to create a collaged bird, I want to have a little more fun.  

An artist I admire, Donna Watson, suggested when I attended her workshop in Mendocino that an exhibit must be cohesive.  Could the mixed media/collage be the cohesion?  All my pieces in the twelve foot wall space are going to be collage--is that enough?  We'll see.

My studio is still a mess.  Yes, it might look organized but the drafting table that I work on is cluttered, and that makes it hard to concentrate.  If I waited to have everything in its place, I would never begin.  

So, I will stand at my table and work today.  I must complete at least one piece every two weeks to be prepared.  This is when I wish my studio was downtown and not part of the house--no interruptions.   

Wish me well and stay tuned.
