What a week

This was the best way I could think of to say something about my difficult week.

It began unexpectedly with an email that caught me blind-sided.

It challenged some things I hold dear and made me question some things that I had done without giving them much thought. But it seems that there is no compromise to be found even where I have admitted errors.

An ultimatum was laid down that I couldn’t adhere to, to not blog and promote myself in that way. Blogging has become very much part of who I am as an artist and I gain such encouragement from those of you who stop by to comment. The upshot is that I have lost representation by one of my galleries.

I feel really sad about it but happy with the choice I made from the two options.

I am trying to ease into this new state and find opportunity.

I do feel unexpectedly optimistic and ready to take the journey in a different direction. I just didn’t choose the timing but maybe that’s the best way.

“Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final”.ย  Rainer Maria Rilke
