GOOD MORNING WORLD -- INVITATION ONLY SHOW -- 32 DAYS AWAY...

Good Morning!! Well..all I can say people is...BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY FOR. Yesterday, I was stressing out the 2011 Buckner Art Show Schedule. We want to do this one, not this one..these two are on the same day in two different states...we'll have to get hotel rooms for this one..I think we can drive home for this one..which one has more people...it REALLY stresses me out. I get overwhelmed...I get in a tizzy..like the magical, evil Art Show Fairy is going to come in my house, and banish me at that very moment, if I don't turn in an application--or Zapplication...complete with images on CD..sigh...THEN..I stopped. I took a deep breath. I prayed-- Nothing extravagant, nothing fancy. I just said.."Lord, you took care of us last year, so I will trust that you will take care of us this year." I went in my studio and painted a silly dog. Not so much to make a masterpiece--but, because when I pick up a brush--the harsher, reality-ridden world goes away for a few moments. It is where I find my happy place. It calms me. Then, as I got up to cook Nature Boy's dinner--I stopped by the computer room to check my email. POOF. An INVITATION. To an Art Show. A nice one. In Birmingham, Alabama (read as BIG CITY)...and they want US to show our art there. WOOOHOOOOO!! I began Happy Dancing...I am thinking April..May..June..One down..(all of this is running through my head) ..I continue to read the email...GULP..(eyes slightly bulging..)..in FEBRUARY??? OMG!!! That is unheard of in this area!!! It can't be!! That is in 32 days..OMG..I have, MAYBE 10 pieces of art in my inventory....ARRRRGGHHHHHHH....The good thing about this (besides having a show to do)??
I WORK WELL UNDER PRESSURE. Thank you Lord. Live Artfully!
