JOY

Exciting morning....So excited I can barely contain myself!!! Spoke to the gallery and I will have the entire 2nd floor of the building where they will show 20 pieces of my work! The show will open on the 2nd Saturday in August with wine tasting, tarot reading and massages being offered on the floor....so I should get a lot of foot traffic. It will be hard to choose 20 pieces....I have so much I want to show. The gallery is deepartyoga studio on 21st and H street in Sacramento. The studio is taking a big split but I don't care. I am excited that my work will be displayed. A part of my profits will go to the leukemia and Lymphoma society to find a cure. The rest will be reinvested in canvas and paint. I know I will never get rich off my art, but it does soothe me when my mind drifts into that dark scary part. Today the sadness and fears are tucked away, being overshadowed by the happiness of an August show. Two days until the new chemo starts and I am hopeful today. Funny how a small thing like a show can bring a smile to my face and heart. I want to annouce to the world to come and buy.......More money for research......More opportunities to smile. Pure Joy that someone looked at a sample and gave me a space for 20 pieces! I painted this morning to celebrate. The feeling of the paint gliding on the canvas felt wonderful. Each stroke helping to bury the fear and celebrate the light that has come peeking back in. I have so much to do. I have to frame and mat......I have to take a minute to dance a little dance of celebration...No that was not an earthquake that was just me doing the happy dance!!!
