What is the boring part of art?

The boring part is all the paperwork and keeping up with entry deadlines etc. I have a lot coming up in the next few months and have to be sure I don’t miss any deadlines. I keep an Excel spreadsheet, and also a big handwritten copy on a large whiteboard have hung above my work area. That way I am constantly reminded of what is coming up. Today I spent hours updating and reviewing the information.

My exciting news for today is that I have been accepted to exhibit at the Hotel Grand Chancellor, Auckland, in Nina’s Cafe. This is a big area, requiring at least 10 paintings. More details to come, but this is a wonderful opportunity.
