Wicked Wednesday

Shaughan bought me a new car on Monday yes it is this black 300xz. It's in Auckland, I think we are going to go and get in this week? I can't wait!

I took Ralph into the vet yesterday and he had to be put under again to get the tube removed from his ear. He wouldn't let the vet pull it out and was getting really grumpy. So it was another quite day for him yesterday. Poor little man.

My cousin is coming over today which I'm looking forward to, she is living in Brisbane now so I don't get to see her much, mind you we chat heaps through facebook. I read an article on facebook and they were going on about how bad it was but I think that's crap! I have caught up with heaps of people that I wouldn't have bumped into in the streets of Wanganui!

I have been buzzing around the house getting it ready for the Open Studios. I have taken all the art done by other artists down and hung my work in themes and written little blurbs for them.
I figured that I'm not going to be able to talk to everyone that walks in, so I decided to give them a hand out so they can understand where I am and what I was up to in my life when I painted my paintings. Most of them aren't for sale because my paintings are like photos of my life but I only having one copy, the original. Maybe this year I can look into getting prints done and sell them? I have decided to have a photo wall and sell those and take on some commissions as I love painting for other people. When I was at hairdressing college I had a good clientele because I used to listen to what they wanted and gave it to them.

I don't know what it is about this building but we had the fire truck here yesterday because the guy testing the alarm pushed the wrong button. I can't believe how much stuff happens outside our window. The other day we had a 14 year old kids swinging a machete at another kid on the wharf. I'm so over those kids that hang out down there they are horrible they always ask you if you have money or smokes and then start swearing at you. It's not cool! Shaughan tells them to pull their head. I just hope that no one gets hurt. They caught a pigeon the other day and I made Shaughan tell them to leave it alone and bugger off. I wonder if their parents know what they are up to? I know the police do because the printer guys have rung them 6 times about these kids.

I have an exhibition that I'm going to pop some work in next week but I'm not sure what to put in yet. It's about fashion and design, right up my alley. I'm excited!

I gave my resignation as a trustee on the open studios board last week as it was taking up to much of my energy. When I closed the gallery I wanted to concentrate on me, my family, friends, my art and music and it just didn't fit in. I hope that what I bought to the trust helped them and I'm sure the event will be a fantastic! This year they have the biggest amount of artists involved and I'm sure the town will be pumping over the 2 weekends and it will be the best one yet! This is the 5th one that I'm involved in and I'm looking forward to it. It's the first time that I have had this long to get ready for it.

My message for the day was: You are supported with the same energy that holds the planets in the sky. If God can support the huge planet Jupiter, He can certainly do the same for you.


Have a beautiful day!

I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One

I had to share this article with you today, if I wrote something like this it would sound just the same... I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One by Christopher Fife. "Hi, I'm Christopher. I'm an artist." Exhale, run my fingers through my hair. "What do I do? Oh, I paint. I'm a painter. Yeah, I'm an artist." I tried it out every now and then, in front of the bathroom mirror. It sounded all right. But when I introduced myself as an artist outside my bathroom world of make-believe, I always felt false. I was like Magritte labeling a pipe. If I said I was an artist, I was an artist, right? Not exactly. Since I dedicated forty-plus hours a week to my corporate graphic design job, I was lucky if I painted a couple of hours a week. I came to despise myself for this self-deceit, for my inability to embrace what I really wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist. So I committed myself to becoming one. I started out like most people ...
