A couple of weeks ago I started to attend a seminar hosted by a couple of artists. One of the things they wanted us to do was to write down in detail what our life would look like 5 yrs from now in terms of what a perfect day or nightwith your art would be. Down to every detail like what car did you drive to the event, what would you be wearing, who would be there at the event or gallery show, whatever that success might be 5 yrs from now. At the end of my first post I said this—– “By this time next week I “will know what that perfect evening as a successful artist will be down to the shirt and shoes I will be wearing. And when I do I will post that perfect evening. I hope you can join me next week for my detailed post and also join me when my IDEA becomes my REALITY!—– Well its been two weeks and I have attended the third of four sessions. And so far I have not been able to visualize what that day would be like for me. Or at least not in detail. That is until this very moment while writing it down that it came to me. I can imagine is that it would be at night inside a gallery with white walls, bright lights and multiple giant size paintings in black and white. My beautiful wife laughing and talking to the people standing next to us. I also visualize our kids being there in some capacity, although I can not seeing them physically. I know what my wife would look like. She would have her hair put up in a sort of punk rock/ Gwen Steffani hair do with a black top that resembled one of my galaxy like paintings. In her hand would be a glass of white wine. In mine hopefully a pint of black oak stout. I can see myself in full on artist mode as far as attitude and appearance. I would be wearing a western sort of button up shirt, long sleeve with a cool print on the back of some sort of rock n roll feel to it. My hair would be some sort of funky look to it and I would once again be wearing my earing. And hand made silver braclets matching my silver toe cowboy boots with hand stiched design to look like a Van Gogh “Starry Night,” painting. Grey blue jeans and pink framed glasses with style. Outside the gallery would these big giant windows offering a view to the inside of night. On one wall would bricks and maybe even a DJ spinning some tunes. Here’s the weird thing sometimes I see myself outside of the gallery looking in almost in 3rd person or an outer body experience. Outside on the curb 2 spots down would be parked my Volvo, dark black with some sporty red pinstripe down the middle of the car. I know the night be rich in color and vibrancy of life. I even have a feeling that it would be in California or possibly some foreign destination. So there it is in a nutshell. That’s what a perfect night would be for me with a successful art career. Oh and did I mention the show would be sold out:)
