CALL for ENTRIES: 47th Int’l Show

Learn more about the 47th International Art Show from the Brownsville Museum of Fine Art!

focused and FARE

I cheated on my husband with shrimp tacos.  He’s contact allergic to shellfish, and on the rare occasion I eat a meal without him, my radar is firmly set on shrimp.  I feel guilty while eating them, like I’ve cheated, and then have to go through a hazmat-style sterilization process afterward.  But, shrimp.

I had that shrimp-y luncheon with my a friend, an accomplished realist painter.  We spent time talking about our plans for the next weeks and months. She paints prolifically and noted, “I haven’t even been looking at Calls because I can’t do anything until Fall”.  Between work for galleries that represent her, a couple of invitational shows and a museum solo show that comes down this week, she can’t lose focus.  Realizing that kind of focus has been my goal for months, and I am beginning to see results, but it requires tuning out the things that don’t serve my focused goal.
