OUR ART IS BACK HOME!!!

WOOOHHHOOOO...I just got back from Georgia..and picking up the remains of the solo show that we did. I even took the sign that had our names on it, for a keepsake..We sold 8 pieces!! Pretty good show if you ask me, considering the small amount of stuff that I had to put in it.

I really appreciate the people involved in the show! Thank you again!!

I am so excited to have several of the pieces back. I want to have a large amount of for the Chattanooga Market when it starts. I have a plan, including some high goals for this upcoming year, but to fulfill them, I must have a 100 or more pieces before April. I think I can do it..remember Nature Boy contributes to this pile too...

Today is a sad day for me..it is the 20th anniversary of my grandfather passing away..it was  the worst day of my entire life. He, along with my grandmother, raised me. He was always my father, not grandfather..if that makes sense. Most of my earliest memories was of him. He would come home from work, and we would go sit out on this large, white glider that sat on our porch, and he'd talk to me about my day. (We moved from this house when I was 4--so these are EARLY memories) He would always bring me "Sixlets"..those little chocolate pebble-like candies...or a banana cream cake thingie..he would bring one or the other EVERY day. One day, I clearly remember this as if it were yesterday, he had a big glass of what I thought was milk...and I wanted a sip. He kept telling me that I wouldn't like it...and I kept on..until he let me have a big swallow....I took a big gulp and I SPIT it all over him..it was BUTTERMILK!!!! LOL LOL...He laughed until he hurt...with buttermilk running down his face and all over his clothes...LOL LOL. I haven't and don't miss much in this world....but, Lord..not a day goes by that I don't miss that old man with all of my heart. I SO wish he was alive to see what I have achieved with my art. I know he would be proud of me, of the person I became, and I know that if there is kindness in my heart, it was because he was part of my life...(which is the reason that I deleted the long, ugly, mean post that I wrote before this one.--LOL LOL)

Time for a nap..
LIVE ARTFULLY!!
