ozzfest

pete and i went to the gathering of the freaky-freakies on friday. i had almost more fun people-watching than watching the bands perform. most of the music was a lot harder than i usually listen to, but it was still a great time. we were taking notes on how we are supposed to dress for our next concert...some of those people were just out there.

anyhow, yesterday i sent off my two gallery submissions to the refuge recovery artist gallery up near chicago. its a first for me, possibly having my work hanging up in a gallery setting. i'm excited. skip and i are considering a special trip up there for the opening, which i think is next month. i'll keep everyone posted on the outcome of this new artistic adventure.

so, at the moment, i am somewhat between projects. i have a couple started, but have lost interest in doing anything with them. i painted a desert scene on a clay pot for a cactus a friend gave me, and i'll be repotting it into it this afternoon. i am almost done with my step-daughter's portrait, which could get me going on my oldest son's...but the desire and/or motivation just isn't there. ah well...artist's block.
