What Does An Artist Do All Day?

DAY FIFTEEN

DAY FIFTEEN 〰️

19/08/2022 07:43 – DAY FIFTEEN

Late to bed last night meant late start today.  I dozed off watching some TV,  as per usual.  Only snoozed for about 45 minutes but it was enough to wake my brain up again.  I decided to design a new logo for Ainetheon Arts as I feel the old one is old hat now.  Not that I have used it really since opening the Coupar Angus Gallery.  Time for a facelift.  Botox the business.  The re-branding should be done by the end of this year, ready to start 2023 re-vamped and re-organised.  Here’s to new hats!

Bringing the feet back down to Earth, today I am itching to crack on with the large canvas I started yesterday.  By large I mean jumbo, for me anyway.  This canvas is 40 x 60 inches.  Yes, that’s right 40x60 INCHES not centimetres which is more the sort of size I tend to do.  I don’t think I am going to get much done on that today though as there is plenty of admin and studio work to do.  And it is a Gallery Day – I open 10-4pm and I’ll be talking more about the art rather than creating it today.  All part of being an artist with a gallery. 

I will get some smaller works done today though.  Or at least on the way to getting some smaller works finished.  I hope to get the mount cutter out today and cut some mounts for the prints I did last week.  I have some frames left out (rest are packed away) and think I might have enough to frame at least four.  I have some of my Chirnside abstracts with a local framer and hope that these manage to get done by next weekend or at least by my Solo Show. 

Time for my second cup of tea  - Rooibos and proper tea leaves – then to crack on with the day.
