I spent the afternoon while working at the coop gallery, Art IN Hand, working on the gallery’s web site. Little by little I’m getting the hang of it, but it sure is alot of fiddling. Now I need to continue working on my website as well.

I’m listening with half an ear to the Quiltart list, interesting discussion about jurys and curators and shows. I do so like the comment that you just need to do the work. I have been lucky this summer to have worked pretty consistantly, although I’m in let down mode after the show was up and opened.

I can’t seem to get around to putting work on my website because I feel the next piece will be better, and then the next and the next. It’s too hard to stop and fiddle and photograph when I should just be doing the work. I’d love to know how others do it all!

So now, lets see if I can get some pictures from my show in Bloomington up on this blog!

I’m relieved and happy to have gotten the three person show at the John Waldron Art Center in Bloomington, IN up and opened. The crowd was modest for a hot summer evening, but lots of good comments from viewers. The details for the Art Center are on their website, www.artlives.org . I’ll get another look at it this week when I drive to Bloomington for my shift at the coop gallery, Gallery North on the Square. Maybe get some pictures. It was a pretty intense working time this summer, now I just need to keep my momentum going. As it is, there were at least 3 large pieces that didn’t get finished-no, make that5. So I still have lots of work to keep me going, plus a need and interest to do some printmaking on paper as well as fabric.

Meanwhile, I’m trying to learn html and work on the Art IN Hand Gallery website that my son Brian started me out on. My, you can fiddle for hours, and that’s just updates. Hopefully I’ll learn enough to make it faster.

The photo above is titled “Ancient Site” and was accepted into “The Best of SAQA” to be exhibited in Houston this year.
