Well, I had a melt down at the Eureka Sunday Market a week ago Sunday when the extreme wind knocked over everything in my booth for the kajillionth time and sucked the canopy cover inside out and bent the frame. I had not been feeling well all day and was really run down and then beaten by the weather. I ran off at the mouth about how much I despise outdoor shows when talking with one of the fabulously energetic organizers and I later found out she took that to be my official withdrawal from the market. Oh well, I’ll leave it that way, besides I can use the time to work on the commission.
Saturday was a wonderful day with my godson. He went with me to look at the site for a huge commissioned painting I am working on and then to the Rogers Art Guild Show, where I took third place for Monterrico, the painting pictured below in the entry titled the air is full of gold dust. He and I also went to a store called Vintage Stock and he bought some trading cards and laughed about the grown ups he saw trading Pokemon cards. We had a nice dinner out and washed the car like it has not been done in years. I stayed up late working on preliminary ideas for the commissioned piece.
This week I have been planning the new painting. The wall is unusually shaped and is viewed from three levels. The art will be vertical and it will actually consist of an arrangement of many panels. I am trying to determine if I will use canvas or wood. This piece will be over 9′ wide and 14′ high and hanging weight is a concern, as are dimensions for transport and a very rushed completion date. Back to the graph paper! Photos for next post, I hope.
