Make me feel fine…ish.

I am working on completing preparation for the Annual Downtown Art Fair in Grand Rapids, MN.

Like most things I do, it’s been a whirlwind of crazed activity following weeks of procrastination.

The watercolor is still wet and I’m hustling to learn how to make my own frames with a skill saw that my father gave me after a visit to see him in Texas last month.

I also just learned that he and all of my sisters will be visiting our farm at the end of July so Jim and I have been frantically preparing for their arrival. Hint: if you want stuff done around the house, ask your family to come over!

We added steps to the lake, a fresh new cedar deck and will be building a ramp to help him get in and out of our house safely. You may be wondering why I’m sharing this here…

The answer is simple, I am preparing my speech as to why my work is not cohesive or why the collection is rather limited. The thing about in person shows is you have a ton of time to interact with the community and it’s more than your art that is on full display.

I will be showcasing my complete ADHD repertoire. The results can be a brilliant display of mostly half finished ideas started when I was sure that the months ahead would be orderly and controlled. I was going to get it together for this show. I didn’t.

At any rate, I will be there and I invite you to come hear about all the things I was gonna do.
