My paint by numbers got turned in just under the extension wire! I came right home from work, put on my old lady readers and got to the skabillion tiny splotches of mix this and that painted spots. I know everyone else who is a REAL artist didn't do theirs all vanilla and old school like me... but trust me... you don't wanna see me get too creative. My recent attempts at macaroni noodle art is a the stuff nightmares are made out of!
I was happy to walk the piece up to Kate's house and while she praised me for how it turned out, all I could feel was a sense of relief that I did what I said I'd do... and that I didn't let her down. And for me that was a good thing.
I'm no artist.
I live in a town filled to the gills with some of the most talented and amazing people... they create things that inspire and fill the world with beauty and whimsy.
My art is truly in my love for people and how I just want to be out there with them. It's best to keep the art supplies out of my hands.
And the show gets hung at Poco today... and runs till...? Hell, I have no idea!
Oh... and shoutout to my peeps Woj, Jane and Meth who called me from the beach house in Avalon, NJ after a certain someone farted and at that moment decided she missed me. Love you guys... remember... NYE in Bisbee should be the plan! You haven't lived till you have been to Bisbee for a real Gretchen inspired event... and the first ever International Fake Jan Day will be sure to screw you up for the rest of your life in all the right ways!

Wendy, I truly did love the piece you did, you are too hard on yourself, as I think of you as an artist. The show looks great and your piece is perfect in it. I would not have been disappointed if you didn't finish it, but I think you would have, so it's great you did this to please you! And you did a great great job! You can not deny how perfect it does look in the show! xoKATE
