Working hard and focused. Not even drinking! With everything that has happened to me in the last year and a half, just painting and walking the straight and narrow has been good for me. I am planning on this being my last year of a full summer tour, and even designed a tshirt. The granary has been transformed into a gallery space, lots of sweat equity and electrical help from my Dad. Hopefully in August we will have an opening, have a few final details to finish up. The plan is after the gallery officially opens to just spend less time on the the road. Mainly I feel like I owe it to myself and Katie to knock this off. In the future I plan on doing select shows here and there, who knows. I just want to do less work and better work-just like every other artist I know does. But right now I have lots of work and am getting ready for the last big push. Here is my show schedule so far:
May 3-5 Brookside Art Annual, Kansas City, MO
June 8-9 Old Town Art Fair, Chicago, IL
June 14-16 Lakefront Festival Of The Arts, Milwaukee WI
June 28-30 Des Moines Art Festival, Des Moines, IA
July 18-20 Ann Arbor Art Fair- the Original, Ann Arbor, MI
Aug 10th Charlevoix Waterfront Art Fair, Charlevoix, MI
Oct 4-6 St. James Art Festival, Louisville, KY
I have applied for a couple more shows and will add to the schedule need be. This time of year I do miss seeing fair goers, clients, and my friends. We look forward to seeing everyone again!
