I have two Solo Exhibitions to start the New Year with, and I am so happy about this.
Simply Tropical starts on Friday night the 7th of Jan at 6.30pm at the Kath Dickson Community Art Gallery at 359 Ruthven Street Toowoomba, this will run until the 27th of Jan. Opening times Wed-Sat 10 am till 2pm
From there I will take other art works out to Texas Queensland where I have been invited to display a collection of my works for sale. There is no set theme for this, it will be a collection of new and previous works, the ones I have held onto as they are special yet I am now ready to sell. So I hope and pray the rain slows up soon so I am able to make the trip out there safely.
At the end of last year I thought I would give my painting away for a year, take some time out and just be, I then received a call to help support the Kath Dickson Community Art Gallery, sold 8 cards on red bubble and got the call for the Texas exhibition, so I went with it and my heart soared, as I do love my painting so much, my dream of finding a gallery to sell my work full time is still there and I feel all of this is leading to that point.
We often have to follow the doors the universe opens for us and forget the logic, if for no other reason than belief and trust that our dreams are possible and that we deserve the goodness that comes from following these dreams, even if they take a little longer to come to the fore than we hoped.
My Uncle (who is wheel chair bound) has as his email signature. Never give up, you don't know what tomorrow will bring! I love this and think we should never give up, if you fall, dust yourself of and try again, and again, cause you never know what tomorrow will bring, it reminds me of a story of the gold miner, who sold his mine when he thought the gold had run out, the guy who bought it(very cheaply) got an expert to do some tests and what they showed were a rich gold seam worth millions, and it was only 3 days digging from where the previous owner had stopped.
So remember we could all be only 3 days away from our dreams, Never give up....
I have made a sale even before my show has been hung, using todays methods of promoting and comunicating I have let others out there in our world see what I will be displaying here in Toowoomba and one of these people happens to be a big fan of my work...so read on
This painting is an Acrylic on canvas, textured with Dulux Acrylic house paint in a red base, I have just uploaded it to my facebook page and I am very pleased to say "Resting" has sold to an Art collector in Melbourne, this person has bought several of my paintings over the last couple of years and I just received a call from her to say she would like to buy it.
I am really proud to have made a sale and still be able to include this in my "Simply Tropical" Exhibition, this way I can let other clients know I can take commissions to do something similar for them if they want.
Congrats Trish, I know you will enjoy and bless you for not only being a wonderful supporter of my art, you are also a great friend, I must seriously get down to hold a home exhibition in Melbourne, we have the works we have the venue, we have the wonderful caterer Mik, now we just need me down there....working on this one...for this year...promise...
I end this blog post saying I am really proud of myself for achieving my goals I set for this exhibiton, for having great support from my children, my friends and that I look forward to having my friend and fellow artist Anna Bartlett (also a blogger) open my show, the one thing that would top it of is if my other wonderful art soul sister could be with us, the amazing and ever creative Nic Hohn...I know that she will be with us in heart, and when the red dots appear she will do the Happy Dance with us...cheers to you all. Love and hugs Kym xx
