This month has been a lot like this picture, beautiful but a little uncomfortable.

I have always measured my success by how much I accomplish, this has been a busy, productive month. Unfortunately, I do not feel very successful. This week I am going to investigate getting my teaching certificate. I have been very resistent to the idea, until this weekend. I know I would be a good teacher. This next year will be difficult teaching and being a student at the same time. But my biggest reluctance is my art. Can I teach and produce? I would have to, my art is what keeps my spirit going.

Trendy Luv

I knew I had to have it. The price only made the deal sweeter. Who couldn't resist this $43.00 lamp. It originally sold at Neiman Marcus for over $400. I happen to like things no one else wants. It's a gift- proud of it. I can't help it if Jim agrees with everyone else who passed it by at Neiman's thinking no thanks. Here it sits in the guest bedroom - waiting for the plastic to come off of its shade. That will happen once the room is painted next week. It makes me smile.

My goals

Next week is Spring break. In an earlier post I made some Spring break goals and I am well on track to meeting them. The most important of these goals was to have a portfolio together to present to Dallas galleries.
Next week I will pull all my work together.
Then I will need to get all my work photographed, labeled and burnt on a CD.
Printing the portfolio will be the last step, I hope the print quality is good enough to present. I have not stepped out on this limb in over 20 years. Good grief. Twenty years ago I had museum curators coming to my studio looking at my work - what happened? Life ?
