Ok, now that I’ve gotten out all my orders from the trip (except a couple waiting on stretcher bars to come in), I’m able to start working on new pieces. :D
This may be the first to be completed - just started working on it a couple hours ago and looks good. Named ‘Chicago Time’ it’s a really special piece to me as it represents time spent with my sister Lee Ann & her partner Beth Akard. Beth actually pointed the clock out to me and I positioned myself to capture the sun in the haze behind the statue.
Welcome to my portfolio guys! ;)
I will always cherish the time spent that weekend with Lee Ann and Beth - especially getting to know Beth a bit. I hope this piece will remind me to take time and enjoy my time with friends & family even when the schedule is hectic. I was able to bring along to a show or visit with each of my family members on the 2 month long trip and that was very important to me :)
When we set out I told Lee Ann - “during the show (Wells Street Arts Festival), I’m in charge - outside of that you set the schedule and can be the Entertainment Director etc. I will just ‘be there, immersed’ not needing to ’seek out’ anything”. Seems to work ;) ….
