first off, happy bike to work day! props to all you out there joining in on today's celebration and riding your bike to work. i, however, am not. it is my day off and i am working from home today getting lots and lots accomplished!
saturday is my opening and when talking to the owner of the gallery, she said it was going to be busy. i am super nervous but thankful that it isn't a solo show otherwise i would be drenched in sweat the entire time. it is nice to share the limelight. makes it easier on my nervous....wow i sound like an old lady! i will take lots of pictures and share the experience.
xo,

You first gallery opening - wow - you're so amazing. I would be super nervous too, I get nervous when I make a cake for a friend as I worry they won't like it! So I think you are just so brave and at the same time I'm sure it will be awesome, because you're awesome!

DeleteOooo, this is my favorite flower drawing so far! Where do you get those neat oval frames?
ReplyDeletethanks kiley! i get my frames from viking wood crafts. they are great and they make them in a bunch of sizes and shapes. i should try another shape maybe but just love the oval so much. you don't see many of those and i adore how they look on the way mixed with square and rectangle frames. xoxox
Deleteso pretty. your talents never cease to make me jealous.
ReplyDeletevery pretty! try your best to enjoy it all through the nerves...i'm sure you'll do fine :)

That's so awesome to have your work in a gallery! I totally love the black eye susan one too! No wonder it sold! So beautiful! :D

ReplyDeletethanks lynn! i can't wait to share!
Deleteoh you really know how to pick your colors this is gorgeous! i love that you chose to use a dark wooden frame as well. coincidentally i rode my bike to work on thursday. yay! it's been so rainy and i've been a little lazy but i must get back on the bike for real for real.
ReplyDeletedid you paint the frame too to make it look like a tree? I love that detail and WHOOHOO! Your exhibit is probably going on right now as I type! I hope you are having a blast and I cannot wait to see the pics from opening night! So freaken awesome and I totally agree with you it IS SO terribly hard to balance it all! I still haven't figured that one out...:)
ReplyDeleteCongrats and again, so awesome!
