And on a more positive note….  I’ve been working on colors for the coral painting.  I think I like these, well, they are bright, so of course I do!

I feel like when I’m focused on one thing, I’m letting others slip through the cracks.  I’ve been painting and painting and I now need to sit my butt at the computer and get some other stuff done.  My goal for the day is to finish the May list of events and blurb for Medford’s Third Friday.  One of the ideas I’ve had lately, is to try and get the art communities in the area to support each other and cross-promote.  It’s weird to me, that there seems to be such rivalry between the towns.  It’s a small area, let’s support each other!  Although I’m feeling disappointed with the LIthia Artisans Market right now, I am still going to include them in my ideas.  If I start snubbing groups because they have been hurtful to me, then I am acting no different than them.  So, am putting aside the negative and hurt feelings and moving forward.  I’m hoping to get Medford’s Third Friday to do some type of event where they bring in artists from the surrounding communities and hopefully get the groups to mingle.  Will see how that goes.  At least trying to do something like that keeps me focused on positives!
