Solo Show

I have a solo show coming up in June - my first actually. It has been a little nerve wracking. The owner of the gallery told me that she had two seven foot walls to fill.
I went to see the space yesterday....YIKES! It is NOT 2-7 foot walls. She has 5 Seven foot rods with chains, and 2 five foot rods. She said that she figure 20-25 large size pieces would work. OH MY GOSH! This is great, but think about the financial side of this for a moment. Framing that many pieces is an incredible feat! I was in a panic and I called Kathy yesterday. I have 4 pieces already framed, I have 14 frames for my gallery pieces, I just need the prints, but the gallery prints aren't as special as the large prints - at least I don't think so. We are going to get 4 more large prints done, and then she reminded me of all the framed photographs that I have framed hanging around my house, I could put those up. I also have several paintings that I could put up as well. Wow....my paintings on display? I don't know how I feel about that. I have never really shown anyone my paintings before. I have one in progress right now that I think is pretty cool and a few floating around in my head. It is something I do just for the fun of it. Whew...crisis averted. A dear friend and mentor of mine is going to help fund the framing for the other four pieces.
It is still a little nerve wracking and exciting at the same time!
