The reason for my almost month long absence from blogging: I have been super busy in many fronts! I had my official first show at the gallery that now represents me, showing a sampler of my works and feeling great about it.
My state of exuberance though did not last too long; the day after the opening, feeling on top of the world I ended up falling into its surface! While crossing a street my smile was shot by the immense pain I felt and at the same time realized that my weight had increased to a ton, and that whole ton had crushed on my right foot caught in a gap of the broken asphalt. And so I broke a tiny bit of my heel bone, I had to learn to use crutches, then had to get used to wear a high tech boot, and now finally I am getting back to normal existence while accepting that pain is going to be with me a bit longer...
As for the show... I managed to give a decent artist's talk while balancing on two different heights (med and regular boot), smiled every time I saw red dots added, and started planning the works for my next exhibit!
Congratulations on your show. Looks great - more photos please. Hope your leg mends well. You weren't meant to take the "break a leg" for the exhibition ,literally. All the best Anna.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jack! Yes, quite a few people did wish me to break a leg, maybe their wish took...
DeleteHi A - sorry to hear about the accident - never fun to hobble around - we only really appreciate our feet and legs when they come unstuck a bit. The exhibition looks great; and glad to hear that red dots appear. Go well. B
ReplyDeleteB you are so right! We have no idea how wonderful everything is, until some part of ours has a problem.
DeleteThankfully I am healing well and getting back to my normal self. I hope I'll never again need to use crutches!
Thanks for stopping by.
Your books look brilliant. Congratulations on your show.

Congratulations on your show and on all the red dots! Good thing they weren't signs of a rash :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ersi, you made me laugh!
DeleteI definitely don't need any more troubles, and definitely no rash...
Thank you for visiting the blog.
Fab news about the red dots but not about that injury! Yikes, I bet that was painful Anna. Do hope you are on the road to a full recovery?
ReplyDeleteThank you Leslie.Yes it was painful, it still hurts but much less... According to the doctor I will have pain for another 7-8 weeks.. I am glad the worst is over. I am back on my feet wearing my regular shoes. Yay!!!

Such a blend of fabulous and...ow!... dreadful news! Wonderful about the gallery and the sales, and well-deserved. I'm so happy for you! The foot injury, on the other hand, sounds agonizing! And to happen while just crossing a street! Good wishes for speedy healing. And many more sales!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ellen! Thank you for the kind words and feelings. I am getting better and better and at the same time more and more paranoid looking/examining where I step, terrified not to fall again. It's good not to have to use crutches and even better not to have to wear the big protective boot. I think in an other month I will be as good as before!
