The name of my latest painting. A ton more in the works right now. Have been sorta frantic trying to get ideas going for my upcoming show in September.

The good news I wanted to share with you though is that I will exhibiting my work at the Effe Leven Gallery for the month December in a show called “Play Child Play.” I am super excited as this gallery is in the River North area of Chicago and it can be tough to find galleries that are willing to show emerging artists in general in many places around downtown. This will be my very first gallery exhibition. Will get more info as it comes, as to when the opening reception will be and all that!

I have been so forgetful today it is just crazy. This morning I totally blanked on my pin when I went to the ATM. I blanked so much that I got locked out from using my pin and had to go get money by actually going into the bank and talking to someone. Then I went to Ulta and got so lucky I got the very last foundation primer left, love the stuff. Then went on to Target and bought a few things there, and put my Ulta bag in the cart with my other bags. Who knew that the bag being orange and the cart being orange made it a little harder to see so I just left it. Didn’t realize that I had left it until I got all the way home. As I quickly darted back to the store I find that all the carts had been taken inside. So I stopped by the Customer Service desk and it was there. One of the people bringing in carts must have found it. Talk about getting lucky not only would I have spent a small fortune just to get foundation primer I would have to go to another Ulta just to find it!! So hopefully I won’t forget anything else today. I am so ready to lose my mind as it is.

This week has been going so great for me so far, and I suppose getting lucky on getting my bag back is just part of it. Here’s to hoping things just keep getting better every week. Would be super sweet if it worked that way. Gotta really relish these good times and not let the crappy stuff rain on your parade.

Will be back later with a new painting to show and some of the good news!!

Yes I do realize I totally forgot about View Friday last week. I remembered on Saturday. It will be back this week, as long as I don’t forget…
