So I have decided to do this exhibition and haven't the foggiest where to start. I guess getting the paintings painted may be a good start. But there are some obstacles. I have limited funds for buying supplies. I will have to buy many a canvas and many a thing of paint, so this may be difficult.

With each canvas costing in excess of $20, and although that doesn't sound so bad, it is going to take me ages to get all the artworks I need. And then there is the question of space to hang and space to store. At the moment, to save money, we are staying in a 2 bedroom unit where the second room is the storage space and although it looks messy, it is cheaper than renting a bigger place.

I am progressing to going out to get a sketch book to draw out some of the ideas in my mind's eye. I will do that this weekend. I have lots of things floating around in my head and I think that I should ground them to the earth that I call paper. "That's it! Your grounded, stay put on that paper and stay still while I look for the money for the canvases you'll be painted on! " Maybe you all think I am an insane loon who talks to the mental images in my head and before I know it I will have all these fans who will be wanting to see what nut ball ideas I pan out on canvas!

Now another thing I should do is start to make a database. If I can get all the details of all the people I have ever met, then I can send out an invitation to my exhibition once I know when it will be.

I also need to think about finding a space to hang my works which won't cost me an arm and a leg but maybe just a toe...when I sell my paintings, the money will go to a good cause...my own art studio garden flat!

It is freezing cold and I am starting to gather icicles on my fingers...and now is the best time to paint because I will be studying for a large portion of the year. Maybe a trip to Australia will be the sunny inspiration I need...good thing I am going...
