Crunch time!
With only a couple of days left before my big trip, the pressure is really on to get some things accomplished. I’m finishing up last-minute paintings, shipping out the final bits of sold pieces, tying up loose ends all over the place, getting all the technical stuff sorted out… It’s quite a mess, actually. I hope I’ve thought of everything, but I’m sure there will be a few minor details I’ll overlook. It seems like there always is.
The most important thing is that thanks to the lovely people of the city of Little Rock and a few generous patrons across the country, I have plenty of cash to get me comfortably to and from New York with a little spending money left over, although I’m really not interested in bringing home souveneirs, to be completely honest. I’m pretty sure I’ve donated enough to the local economy with my hotel stay and show registration fee.
I really think that this trip will give me plenty of inspiration and help me solidify my goals, both personal and business, generate a few strong leads, and (I’m crossing my fingers) sell a few original works. Regardless of how much everyone I know is freaking out about me travelling alone, I feel strongly that this week will mark a turning point in my life.
