Slackness… and Exciting News!
Posted Monday, June 30 at 8:33 am by Kirsten
Ok, I know, I have been really slack with this blog. I broke the little promise I made to myself about participating in all of the Inspire Me Thursday challenges. Bloody report cards, using up all my time. Some of the topics I missed would have been really good, too. Now I’m on holidays I am hoping to get back on track.
In the meantime, I have some exciting news! I am currently showing my art in my very first exhibition!! OK, it’s not in a gallery and only 6 of my paintings are hanging, but yesterday I hung my paintings at Toscani’s Cavill Ave. Matt will tell you I was a nervous wreck on the way there, and I am still a bit nervous, wondering whether I am wasting my time. I’m not expecting to make any money out of this venture (although enough to buy some more canvases would be great!), but I would be thrilled to sell even one painting.
Update: I am now featured in the “What’s On” section of the Toscani’s website! Check it out here.

Congratulations babe!
I am so happy for you and proud of you for taking this first step into the art world beyond something that you just enjoy doing.
Looking forward to see your first exhibition goes

Yours is the one with the knife and fork that says ‘thank you’, right?
Only kidding… this is fantastic news. I had always thought that you only ‘dabbled’ in painting until I saw the huge amount of work you had put up on Deviant Art. Now it looks like you’re taking the next step to fame and fortune. Or, at least getting back some money for all the paints/canvases/brushes/etc you’ve paid for over the years.
Congratulations K!

Congrats again. Worry less about selling and more about people commenting and taking the time to look. That’s what really means something.
