life | track meet

today is my son's first track meet. he is running sprints and the 100 meter dash and then he wants to do the long jump and the high jump, but he might run the 200 meter. the max is 4 events. it was also a struggle this morning to get him to take a 2nd bag for track stuff...so he'd be warm and would be less likely to lose stuff! 13 man...they think they know more than somebody who's been there and is trying to help them!

he's totally a teenager :) i'm just hoping he makes it through with enough experience and independence to appreciate his parents on the other side! :) and to of course be a good man who does good.

the teenage years (though i've only JUST started them) are f'ed up. you get very little return on your investment and the only reason they see the light of day sometimes is because you've already put 13 years worth of blood, sweat and tears into their development :) he's a very good kid overall...it's just frustrating some times...

i look forward to seeing him run today though...maybe i'll get some nice action shots :)

So that works out I think...the ladies of lawrence artwork group have pretty good local connections, therefore media coverage and word of mouth. Plus it more closely fits my style. I do still currently have my Alphabetical Order piece on display at the Mulvane Art Museum through January 16, 2011. I am also going to enter it into the MyArtSpace Scope Miami 2010 Art Show happening at the same time as the Miami Art Basel which would be great publicity....and just great to show more work if accepted. I also need to get some more laced into the frame pieces of the "Domestic | Domesticated" series ready for sale/show. And I have a ton of wood blocks for caulk xerox transfers...still going to try la
