Making an exhibition of myself

I made the acquaintance of a new friend the other week, and liked her very much. Since then we’ve chatted on the phone, and texted, a little, as you do when you get on. I knew a little bit about her, and her background, I’d met her man, knew what he did, and bit by bit, you build up a picture of the person, as they build up a picture of you. But, whilst you’re doing all of that, you’re doing other stuff too. The stuff that makes up your life, as they do the stuff that makes up theirs.

And I’ve had a really busy week, this week, as I’ve got a lovely commission to do for the woman who came to pose for me at the begining of the week, I’ve got to put some ideas together for a guy in San Francisco who has sent me some erotic photos and is waiting for my response of how they can be made into a painting of him, I’ve made a lot of new friends via Twitter, including a friend from a few years ago, who I met through blogging, and as well as that I’m updating my new website, with a large batch of emails back and forth between my webmaster and me, regarding his ideas, my ideas, the website layout, the best way of displaying the images, and a whole list of other questions between us too!

But, I would like to think that I’ve also got time for my friends.

Especially the new ones. When you’re still finding out about each other.

So, it was great to hear from my new friend when she texted me earlier, and made reference to the fact she’d looked at my website, and suggested I look at her website. Which I did, later on this morning, expecting for some reason, to find that she was selling tee shirts from it (a slight mis-understanding with her surname in the web address gave me that impression!).

So… I looked…… with an open mind…….

And what I found…. astounded me…………..

And that doesn’t happen often!!!! 🙂

I sat there, reading her website, with my mouth hanging open,  and HAD to ring her straight away!

And on answering it – I told her I was flabbergasted!

She asked “Oh…..Why….?”

And I responded

“I didn’t know you were an ARTIST too!!!!”

And she laughed, and agreed she was, which meant that we spent the next hour both of us all fired up, talking about creativity, art, erotic art, models, posing, art workshops, and art motivations, art experiences and all things connected.

And it was only during that conversation, when I relayed to her about me being hugely impressed with the places and countries she has exhibited in, that I realised that I hadn’t created my own page on my new website for my OWN exhibitions!

Duh!

So, when Ieventually came off the phone, all bouyed up with talking about to a fellow female artist, I sat down and made MY list of places and dates of where I’ve exhibited….. and was surprised…… at how many places there were on that list!
