Setting up the database is not my favorite thing to do in the studio obviously, but it is what I have been spending most of my time on for over a week, maybe that’s why I look so glum in the shot above! It was a thrill to actually put the database to good use over the weekend when I was asked for the prices on a couple of paintings and also about the availability of different prints. I simply typed in the titles and bingo! records of originals and prints with prices and locations were at my fingertips. Love that!
I have taken a break from the database to make some entries to competitions and plans for local shows, like White Street Walk, and I’ll post more about these local favorites as the events draw nearer. Right now I’d like to step away from the computer and oh, I don’t know, maybe PAINT! I do still have some more work on the database with show history, publications, and other bio stuff. There is also a section for supplies which I may or may not choose to use. If you are an artist interested in getting all your work and info cataloged or in tracking your artwork as it travels and sells, check out the software developed by painter Kathryn Townsend, Working Artist.

I know that we talked about this the last time we were down… but what day is the White Street Walk? We may try to come down for it, my work allowing
White Street Walk is Friday, May 16th and I so want you guys to be here! That would be excellent for moi! Besides, I need you to take the photos again! I’m so excited that this year I will be showing at Studio 36 White Street with Jerri Stevens and some other amazing artists.
You look crazed in this picture….are you on drugs? Hee Hee
No, silly, but I was a little strung out on the database. And it\’s quite clear to me that Jim is the photographer, not I. I shot this as I dashed out to a birthday party. You should see the photos I took of all the shenanigans that night. They are so awesome I had little men in fear that I was shooting for the paper and their lives would be in ruins!
Oh, Jim, that’s not good. Maybe the following weekend with the Art Car parade and all?
