5 more days to the Art Market and I am in a dither. The acupuncturist put some needles in for anxiety (it turns out the spots were the neck, base of skull and several in the earlobe--ouch).
My left eye twitches slightly (another sign of nerves) and I find myself holding my breath while clenching my teeth.
When I listen to famous artists discuss their work (and that includes actors, writers, musicians too) there is always talk about having to have a thick hide toward criticism. It takes more than talent to be a successful artist. My hide is thin as parchment paper.
Anyway, my sculptures are covered up and waiting in my studio for Friday's set-up time. The strong backs are lined up to carry the heavy stone and pitch the canopy at 2 PM. My photographs are lined along my living room fireplace. More to be done, of course. I want to get some photos printed for greeting cards and some other ways to sell little pieces of my art to interested people who's budget doesn't have room for 200 lbs of marble Mermaid.
I've begun (finally) to work on my website: http://www.bonniesirkegian.com/ and hope it will be up for the show. Regrettably, prograstination is my middle name.
I've washed and ironed the sheets and pillowcases for The Farmhouse B&B which will be rented out to two couples in the art show and the countdown begins.
