Leap before you look!
Morning Essentials
"Morning Essentials" 20"x20" Oil $1,800
Hi!
You've no doubt heard the expression, 'Look before you leap.'
It's one of those things people say when they are advising a cautious
approach to something new. And it's good advice,...generally.
Like when you're buying a house or a car and you're feeling crowded and
pressured by a skilled salesperson who knows how to push all the right
buttons.
Yup! We've all been there. So I tend to take the path of caution on big
decisions.
But sometimes, too much caution can rob you of opportunity. I can't
tell you how many good things I've missed out on by taking too long to
come to a decision.
This one was easy though. I saw the call for artists to participate in
the Grosse Pointe Art Festival and immediately jumped on it.
For one thing, I saw the call on the last day they were accepting
applications. That made the decision urgent.
But other factors made the decision easy.
I was just at Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores a couple of weeks ago.
I've done mural work in homes there, and worked on a project with an
interior decorator in Grosse Pointe Farms. All wonderful experiences!
Also, I still have my tent from when I used to paint faces at county
fairs.
Those fairs were lucrative, but soul-crushing. I endured high winds,
thunderstorms, and 12-hour days in brutally hot weather, with the
lovely aroma wafting over from the livestock barns....Oh! and the
privilege of listening to hours of bad Karaoke.
THIS festival will be one 8-hour day. That's it.
If I love it, I'll do it again. If I don't, I won't. Simple as that.
It took the events coordinator about one half hour from the moment I
hit the application submit button to extend an official invitation.
I'll keep you informed as this event draws closer.
Miniature collection as of 6/25/2022
Miniature paintings $65 ea.
In the meantime, if you've had your eye on one of the miniatures shown
here, I recommend that you grab it at the subscriber rate listed.
I will be painting lots more over the next few weeks, so there will
still be plenty for the event.
Three wildflower miniatures
Wildflower miniatures $65 ea.
I will be using the proceeds over the next few weeks to purchase
display cases for the festival.
After all, we don't want any of the minis to fly away in a stiff wind,
or worse; casually 'walk away" while I'm distracted, now do we?
Gotta go now. I have that long-standing breakfast date with my best
friend. Can't miss that.
Wherever this week takes you, be sure and enjoy a little birdsong.

payment and ship right away.
