OCT14

COFFEE HOUSE STARBUCKS BUMMER

I DROVE WITH MY PAINTINGS  AND  MY EASELS  TO DOWNTOWN OCALA LAST  NIGHT.

THE MANAGER WAS  QUITE  CASUAL ABOUT  WHERE  I WAS   TO SET  UP. AS  I BEGAN , I REALIZED , THERE  WAS  LESS SPACE THAN I HAD  ANTICIPATED  .. AND  I COULD  ONLY PUT  UP 6 PAINTINGS.. AT  BEST .. I FELT  LIKE I WAS A  HAZARD... I BECAME AS  NERVOUS AS  A LONG TAILCAT  IN A  ROOM FULL OF  ROCKERS. I SO WANTED  TO SHOW  MY REALLY BIG PAINTINGS..I SPENT  MONEY ON NEW  EASEL SYSTEM..

FOR THE  FRIENDS  WHO DID  COME.. I WAS  DISAPPOINTED  FOR THEM.. THEY DROVE  QUITE  A  DISTANCE AT  NIGHT.. AND  HAD  TO ALSO CONTEND  WITH ANOTHER  RANTING  FROM ANOTHER  EXAMPLE OF  THE OCALA  POLITICS.

I AM QUITE  DISCOURAGED.


BUT  EVER  SO THANKFUL  FOR THE  FRIENDS  WHO  BRAVED  THE  NIGHT  TO COME.

THERE  WAS  AN OPENING  FOR A GALLERY IN BELLVIEW  THAT  TOOK A
NUMBER  OF  PEOPLE  AWAY.. AND  THE  PLAY HERE  AT  OTOW.

I AM REALLY GLAD  NOT  MORE  PEOPLE  TRAVELED  TO SEE MY LITTLE  SHOW.. IN THAT  I COULD  ONLY SHOW  SUCH A  SMALL NUMBER  OF  PAINTINGS..
