Hello Arties,

I am slowly recovering from last week, one gallery lowering my prices, one asking me to remove my 17 pieces. No, it's not a baseball game, that would be more fun, I was hurried when I titled last blog. Everthing isn't so literary.

At 7:30AM I was in the Madison Health and Racquet club outdoor pool, jogging, cross country skiing, working styrofoam weights and riding my orange noodle like a bicycle. The sun was shining and I was very happy to be alive.

I had coffee and a bagel with my 75 year old girlfriend who is another angel put in my life to get me through tough times. I have had several angels in my life. She offered me a ride to Bristol RI on the 29th because she is picking up all of her watercolors. She feels they will show better elsewear. So I won't be alone as I gather up my work, not knowing what to say, not wanting to say anything. We'll treat the journey as another "road trip."

I am still pressing the most beautiful petals, and attempting to organize them in celophane bags.

The new local art course books are coming and I would like to choose something. I love art classes taught by good teachers.

Another late night, early morning. Hate those bags!

Live in the light,

Lisabeth

Two galleries that have carried my work have closed.Try not to take it personally. Right now, my own gallery is the only gallery carrying my stuff. I'm trying to find alternative venues for moving my work. One very profitable location was in a hospital. I sold 9 big pieces and got a couple big commissions in two months. I also blog blog and blog. I get a lot of international attention that way. Speaking of international, I'm trying galleries overseas, their economies are generally better than ours.
