Chicago Time

Ok, now that I’ve gotten out all my orders from the trip (except a couple waiting on stretcher bars to come in), I’m able to start working on new pieces. 😀

This may be the first to be completed – just started working on it a couple hours ago and looks good. Named ‘Chicago Time’ it’s a really special piece to me as it represents time spent with my sister Lee Ann & her partner Beth Akard. Beth actually pointed the clock out to me and I positioned myself to capture the sun in the haze behind the statue.
Welcome to my portfolio guys! 😉

I will always cherish the time spent that weekend with Lee Ann and Beth – especially getting to know Beth a bit. I hope this piece will remind me to take time and enjoy my time with friends & family even when the schedule is hectic. I was able to bring along to a show or visit with each of my family members on the 2 month long trip and that was very important to me 🙂

When we set out I told Lee Ann – “during the show (Wells Street Arts Festival), I’m in charge – outside of that you set the schedule and can be the Entertainment Director etc. I will just ‘be there, immersed’ not needing to ‘seek out’ anything”. Seems to work 😉 ….

‘Chicago Time’ – even though many of us select ‘Chicago Time’ as our time zone (CST), ‘Chicago’ time does seem a little different – as should all our time :)…
