Day Job and Art

Day Job and Art

Okay, it’s been two months since I’ve posted anything. That’s not very blog-like, but it’s the impact of traveling and being back in a day-job.

But there's good news:

• I've traveled to Costa Rica and seen beautiful landscapes and wildlife (that sunset picture is from Costa Rica).
• I’ve still had time for art.
• And of course, being employed is generally a good thing.

Obviously, I've had time for photography while traveling, in both Costa Rica and Oklahoma.

I’m the show coordinator for Silicon Valley Open Studios, PEEK show (http://www.svos.org/). I'm handling the communication with participating artists and participating in the jurying of the show.

I've had two pieces up at the ARTshare 25 Gallery in San Mateo (the show just ended yesterday).

I'm beginning to prepare for the big open studios weekend (my first year participating) in May.

And I've been doing some painting.

Last, and probably least, I have done some doodling in the midst of long corporate offsites. I just can't sit still for hours on end, so my nervous and/or creative energy comes out through my pen. Interestingly, it's actually given me some ideas for paintings.

Whoever thought a corporate day-job could be an inspiration?
