sunday...

spending some time here in the studio working on the 'couch dogs'...things are coming along slowly but in a good way...it seems in my head that i work much faster than in reality and this can be frustrating at times...i'm planning on painting for a few hours today then head out to see the movie 'the queen'...

tomorrow my paintings will be returned as per my request from the gallery that i was dealing with and will no longer have any connection to...why?...well this is a topic i'm going to save to write about at some point in the future, perhaps tomorrow after the paintings are returned...let's just say that i was trying to have a professional relationship with the owner and that just wasn't reciprocated...she kept forgetting about scheduled meetings and never called to cancel or apologise...even after a week of knowing that i was very upset over her last 'missed' scheduled appointment, she still didn't have the courtesy to call to make amends...to add further insult, when i called to ask that my work be returned, i was given the cold shoulder in a very short, curt response that she will return them but won't give me a specific time of delivery!...ok so i'm writing about this and i said i wouldn't but this just makes me feel mad...i have kept my end of the 'agreement' with regards to having four completed paintings for her gallery and i'm given attitude??...and that's an example of why a gallery takes 50% commission of what an artist makes, it's hard work being arrogant and unprofessional...ok enough for now, i don't really want to rock the boat too much...

back to the easel...
