The Studio @620 hosts an exhibition of works by seven women artists during Women’s History Month. This exhibition organized by Gallery Curator and artist Kenny Jenson features work from the members of this collective: Chalet Comellas, Candace Knapp, Phyllis McEwen, Joanna Karpay, Carolina Cleere, Lyla Haggard, and Kim Radatz.</div>

The works presented range from paintings to textiles, sculpture, photography, video, and installations. The artworks are as varied as the individuals in the group. The common theme is one of support, community and creative growth shared among women artists.</div>

Radatz will be exhibiting the work featured above, a mixed media installation of buckets made from encaustic medium and thread, in addition to three piece made from repurposed and vintage clothing. All of Radatz’s work deals relationships and the emotions that stem from them. </div>

<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That’s what I did this weekend; I gave myself the gift of a residency.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nope, I didn’t apply for anything, or get any funding. I gave this time to myself.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am fortunate enough to have carte blanche access to a condo in Daytona Beach, Florida that over looks the Intercoastal Waterway. For a salt loving, ocean loving person this is pure heaven.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I seldom go.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s too difficult most of the time to just <i>go</i>. Life gets in the way.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But this past weekend I did it. And, boy am I glad I did.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wasn’t making work, rather working on the business of art.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not as much fun as making art, but very enlightening and worth the effort. We artists really need to know the why’s of doing this crazy thing called art.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I won’t be so bold as to say I did all that I set out to do, but I accomplished a lot and I hope to do it again in the future. It is a <b><i>necessary</i></b> part of being an artist.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My only wish would be to have the opportunity to do it with like minded artists, too. This past weekend was for solitude, but having a sisterhood from afar to share ideas with, well, that would be fantastic. And I hope someday that wish comes true.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But now it is Monday. I am refreshed and ready to face the world.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you are too.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">May you have a creative day!</span></span></div>

<br />
Sometimes work just has to percolate for a while.<br />
<br />
And the main piece that has been brewing and stewing all along is <u>Little White Lies</u>. It took me that long to bring it fruition because I struggled with what I wanted. I am a big proponent of working in tandem with each piece, but I need to have some aspects in mind before starting or I could flail around wasting time.<br />
<br />
Some of the issues I struggled with were:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Should I have a wheel or not?</b> At first I thought the piece should be that literal. But as I struggled through one wheel after the next, each looking just like a wheel that Fred Flinstone might have on his car, I started to reconsider. The wheel barrow was stopped in its tracks, after all, so why have a wheel.</li>
<li><b>What should I fill it with, if anything?</b> One thing I wanted to use were the little fortune tellers from my childhood, and something I use repeatedly in my work. At this point I had thought the entire piece should be a pale pink for a sense of innocence, but the little voice in my head kept telling me, "no" to both.</li>
<li>I landed on just using text to fill the bucket part. So, <b>what should the text look like?</b> How much text should there be? And what should be made of?</li>
</ul>
<br />
I decided to keep it pale white with a gray wash to highlight parts of it, and to use large flat text that is attached to the bucket with just a little overflowing out of it.<br />
<br />
Here is an image of it in progress:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That is exactly the amount of time that has passed since I last blogged.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mercy me.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It wasn’t an intentional choice to stop, it just happened.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First, I went to <a href="http://www.penland.org/">Penland School of Crafts</a> for an encaustic class. Which was FABULOUS, by the way. I learned lots and met a wonderful group of artists. Hands down one of the best experiences that I have had taking a workshop. (Below are a few pieces I made during the workshop.)</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And then one thing led to another, and then another, and I got out of the habit of blogging.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I toyed with different blog post ideas from time to time, but they never made it past the idea stage.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But, here I am back again.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I’d like to think I’ll make it a regular habit, but in the past year I have also tried to let go of the many “shoulds” in my life, so I’m not going to force myself into a “one size fits all model.” Instead, I’ll shoot towards once a week and hope for the best.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I do have much to share and much to learn from you, so I look forward to reconnecting again.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Until the next time, may your days be filled with lots of creativity.</span></span></div>

I’ll get an idea and bam, it all falls together seamlessly. No laboring. No redoing. No tinkering.<br />
<br />
But at other times, ugh, work, rework, think about it, and tinker with it.<br />
<br />
Usually I’ll do the required dance to bring the piece to fruition. Tinker here. Tweak there. And then, wah-lah, it’s done.<br />
<br />
Other times I have to call it quits on the idea. And that’s okay. Frustrating, but part of the process.<br />
<br />
Currently, I have been tinkering on a piece for almost a year. A <em>year</em>! Not consistently, but it sits in my studio and I often ponder how I can see it through to completion.<br />
<br />
See it completed I do. Knowing how to accomplish that, I don’t.<br />
<br />
Maybe now would be the times to wish for a deadline. Possibly that would force me to figure it out. Or call it quits.<br />
<br />
No, I don't think so. There is something about this installation that I feel the need to see. So I’ll keep tweaking here and there and eventually I’ll figure out what to do.<br />
<br />
Tweaking, tinkering, all the same, methinks.<br />
<br />
If only I had her wings too. :)<br />

</tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div>There aren’t many absolutes in my world.<br />
<br />
No blacks or whites.<br />
<br />
Too many wonderful middle greys in between to put me squarely in one camp or the other.<br />
<br />
But a week ago today I found myself rethinking this philosophy. Maybe I do have some absolutes after all.<br />
<br />
My step-son, Brian Radatz of <a href="http://www.theridefactory.info/">The Ride Factory</a> in Ybor City, won best in his class in a prestigious motorcycle show.<br />
<br />
His class was Radical. Even if you aren’t a motorcycle enthusiast it is easy to imagine this would be a large and difficult class to win.<br />
<br />
Yet win he did. On his very first time out of the gate.<br />
<br />
Hmm, why did this Cinderella story come true for Brian? And why am I blogging about it on an art blog?<br />
<br />
Because, you see, motorcycle shows are no different than art shows, it is just the objects that are different.<br />
<br />
No matter what the object is, no matter where the object is made, say in a house or in a garage. Objects they are. Make we do.<br />
<br />
And when we choose to put these objects up for review by our peers, we are allowing them to say which object they think is the best.<br />
<br />
Judges are just like the rest of us; each of us has a preference. Some of us prefer fine craftsmanship. Every piece meticulously crafted and put together. While others’ prefer a message. Something that speaks to our heart and soul. And sometimes it’s a combination of the two, though it is my belief that we lean closer to one way or the other. Content or Craftsmanship.<br />
<br />
Which makes it our camp.<br />
<br />
I’m not saying either one is better, just that we have our tendencies, and it’s good to know our preference so we can fine tune that part of our work.<br />
<br />
Brian’s bike was in no way better built than the other motorcycles. Not high tech either. But he had a concept and he followed that concept all the way through. And the judges saw what he was doing and liked it. (And I am thrilled they did!)<br />
<br />
The stars aligned for Brian this time.<br />
<br />
I hope he understands that the next time the judges might walk right past him with nary a look. And I hope too that he doesn’t take it personally. He can’t, because it isn’t personal. It’s not about his work so much as it is about the judges’ opinion.<br />
<br />
He needs to have clarity in his vision and follow it through, no matter what anybody else says.<br />
<br />
And that goes for any type of show we enter.<br />
<br />
So, no matter what you make, and no matter what camp you are in, I hope you knock ‘em dead the next time you show. And if not, well, we all know that you did your best.<br />
<br />
Happy creating to you!Kim Radatzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09686324845624797324noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098861597842121786.post-14083137631983345012012-02-02T07:34:00.000-05:002012-02-02T07:34:32.264-05:00What is it You Want?In <em>It’s a Wonderful Life</em>, George asks Mary, “What is it you want, Mary? What do you want?”<br />
<br />
The question bears repeating in real life as well.<br />
<br />
What is it you want?<br />
<br />
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I love having targets to shoot at. But sometimes I loose site of those targets and things get a bit muddled up.<br />
<br />
What to do, what to do?<br />
<br />
Get back on track by identifying what my target is. Often times this requires some fine tuning and/or adjusting as life changes. But that’s okay, because I am reaffirming the target(s) at the same time.<br />
<br />
But what if you don’t know what you want?<br />
<br />
According to Jennifer Grisham of <a href="http://everydaybright.com/">Everyday Bright</a>, “One of the most undervalued commodities in our society is clarity.”<br />
<br />
Really? Interesting thought. And one well worth the trouble of fixing. Because as we have discussed before, you can’t aim at something if you don't have a target. Which means lots of bullets could be flying about willy-nilly and accomplishing very little.<br />
<br />
Just putting pen to paper is a huge step towards identifying and understanding what you want. But if you need more help, I’d highly recommend Jen’s <a href="http://everydaybright.com/2012/01/the-truth-about-big-changes/">blog post</a> on the subject as she has some great tips to share.<br />
<br />
Until the next time, may you have creativity and clarity in your day!Kim Radatzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09686324845624797324noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098861597842121786.post-26102589619667311202012-01-27T21:23:00.000-05:002012-01-27T21:23:49.474-05:00Do You Consider Yourself a Lucky Person?If yes, why?<br />
<br />
I understand some things are about luck, like say, winning the lottery. But if one hadn’t bought the ticket in the first place, then they never would have won. It took their effort, the buying of the ticket which enabled them to win.<br />
<br />
So is it luck? Or applied effort?<br />
<br />
My belief falls in the latter group.<br />
<br />
Wise words from the drink coaster I use every day, “Luck is good planning carefully executed”<br />
<br />
Yep, that’s what I believe.<br />
<br />
Luck <em>looks</em> like luck to outsiders, but the one doing all the work to put themselves in the right spot at the right moment didn’t get there by chance. It was lots of prep work prior to the moment when the stars aligned in their favor.<br />
<br />
Luck? Nah.<br />
<br />
Tenacity, perseverance, and hard work, all wrapped up in one.<br />
<br />
May you too have some luck come your way. And you know the kind of luck I’m talkin’ about.<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend!<br />
<br />
P.S. This isn't a plug for the lottery; I never buy tickets myself, so I shall never be in the running for that windfall.Kim Radatzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09686324845624797324noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098861597842121786.post-51964849583019294702012-01-23T17:16:00.000-05:002012-01-23T17:16:04.657-05:00I AM…… SURPRISED<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Somebody asked me recently if I had seen the new Dr. Pepper commercial with the t-shirts. Nope, I hadn’t, but I should have asked them more questions.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Like “what did the shirts look like?”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Because, much to my surprise while I was watching TV yesterday I saw the new commercial. Guess what? The people in the new Dr. Pepper commercial are wearing </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Pepper-Im-T-Shirt/dp/B000WN7CP6"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">t-shirts</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> that say, “I’m a Pepper.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And even more surprising, the slogan was used previously in a </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQPN3UKQM-U"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">commercial</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> from the 1970’s. <em>1970’s</em>???? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where have I been? Obviously not watching TV commercials.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nope, my "I AM" concept didn’t stem from that commercial, but rather my <em>Mirror, Mirror</em> piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And both are completely different in concept, even if they look similar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Which s</span>ounds a little like being a twin to me. Still, though,it's a bit disheartening to see something you have nurtured show up in somebody elses portfolio too.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But alas, that's life, yes? I'm just gonna chalk this up to one of lifes' crazy coincidences.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Until the next time, may your days be creative and original!</span>Kim Radatzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09686324845624797324noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098861597842121786.post-620723478256886522012-01-15T09:14:00.000-05:002012-01-15T09:14:59.957-05:00What About You? Do You Want One?I’ve been getting inquires about the “I AM” t-shirts.<br />
<br />
Yes, you can still get 1. Or 2 or more or…..<br />
<br />
Just give me a shout via my blog or website and for $5.00 plus S & H you too can share your thoughts with the world.<br />
<br />
$5.00, what a deal, yes? The concept is to have as many people wearing them as possible, not to make a profit.<br />
<br />
I’ll do “sightings” and post pictures at a later date. Hopefully people will show up en masse to continue the installation.<br />
<br />
But alone or en masse, I look forward to seeing you soon!<br />
<br />
And, I AM gonna take your picture, if I do. :)<br />
<br />
May your day be creative a one!<br />

Eternally GratefulAt a time when the news is negative day in and day out, it is refreshing to know that we can forgo the doubts and fears, even if for only one night, to see the hope, beauty, and promise that shines brightly within each of us.<br />
<br />
I AM……. eternally grateful to each and every person that participated in the I AM_______ installation I did for First Night. It wouldn’t have been the same without you.<br />
<br />
A sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart.<br />
<br />
Here are the remaining pictures that I was able to capture before my camera battery died. <br />
<br />
Thanks again!<br />

I am very happy to say that the First Night show was a huge success.<br />
<br />
We started handing out t-shirts at 5:00pm and didn’t stop until midnight when we watched the beautiful fireworks display courtesy of First Night St. Pete. After that we broke down the show and made it home shortly after 3:00am.<br />
<br />
Up at 7:00 and I’m already dreaming about a nap. :)<br />
<br />
I am honored that so many people were moved by my installation, some to the point of tears. Very gratifying to know that something I make can resonate so powerfully with another person. The best part about this crazy life called art. Thank you to each of you who participated!<br />
<br />
I took photos of as many people and their “I AM” shirts as possible before my camera battery died. Many that I didn’t get to take have promised to send me pictures. I’ll post them all during the upcoming week.<br />
<br />
For now, here are a few- <br />

Okay, so as the year draws to a close I’ve been reviewing tips that I have gathered in blogs, books, and on the Internet. From these disparate sources I have compiled a list in a handy-dandy, easily readable fashion in hopes of staying on top of my career this year.<br />
<br />
They are not earth shattering revelations, but they are distilled down to the essence, which makes the list handy-dandy, and maybe more doable, too.<br />
<br />
I thought I’d end the year off by paying it forward to you in hopes my list might help you as well.<br />
<br />
Please feel free to pass on your tips too. Any tips to help me be a more organized and productive artist are always welcome!<br />
<br />
• Identify what you want. You won’t know what to shoot at if you don’t have a target.<br />
<br />
• Be purposeful about where you put your attention. Only positive thoughts allowed. Positive thoughts bring positive results.<br />
<br />
• Stay focused. Keep distractions at bay.<br />
<br />
• Be ruthlessly protective of your studio time. Learn to say “no” more often.<br />
<br />
• Keep failing. It builds character and helps you grow.<br />
<br />
• Be happier. Laugh every day.<br />
<br />
• Be better. Learn more.<br />
<br />
• No excuses. Period.<br />
<br />
Off to work I go.

<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>The Unleashed Mind: Why Creative People Are Eccentric</em></strong> </div><div style="text-align: center;">"Highly creative people often seem weirder than the rest of us. Now researchers know why."</div><br />
<br />
It's quite interesting, check it out.<br />
<br />
Here's a Cliff Notes excerpt:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Too Much Information</strong></div>We are all equipped with mental filters that hide most of the processing that goes on in our brains behind the scenes…and thanks to these filters, most information never reaches our conscious awareness.<br />
<br />
Creative people, however, seem to have reduced functioning in the filters. Therefore, much more information reaches their consciousness and “is associated with offbeat thoughts."<br />
<br />
<br />
If I am able to be more consciously aware due to reduced functioning of a pesky filter, then A-O-K.<br />
<br />
Bring it on, I am completely happy being weird!<br />

During the <a href="http://floridacraftsmen.net/">Florida Craftsmen</a> show this past summer I sold quite a few pieces. Yay! In this economy I'm not going to take that bit of fortune for granted. Truth be known, I never take sales for granted. I am always so pleased to hear positive words about my work that I’m tempted to give my work to that very nice person.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, I don’t handle my sales!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I got a commission for one of the sold pieces, <em>She’s Come Undone</em>. I don’t make duplicates, but similar pieces. I don’t think it’d be possible for me to duplicate something. But like my twin sister and I, the work looks similar yet different.<br />
<br />
Here are the 2 pieces I’m working on. The buyer will take her pick once they are finished and the remaining one is slated for a show at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/(http://thepumphouse.org/)">The Pump House</a> in La Crosse, Wisconsin this September. I’m pleased to be getting a jump start on that show, should have all of the work done by April. It’ll help eliminate some last minute stress, which there always is, no matter what.<br />
<br />
So, that's what's new with me.<br />
<br />

2 weeks from today 2011 will come to an end.<br />
<br />
It is a bittersweet time of year.<br />
<br />
Sorry to say good bye, and be another year older, but hopeful for the future.<br />
<br />
To stop myself from getting caught up in “I should’s,” with a long list of resolutions, and more pressure, for the coming year I have found that reviewing what I have achieved in the past year helps me move forward into the new year in a more positive and productive way.<br />
<br />
It sort of seems silly, possibly arrogant, to make a list of achievements. However, if done with a tender heart and no ego involved, it becomes an objective way to see how 2011 played out. It enables me to see that I did accomplish many things. Maybe not all that I had hoped for. But that’s what the New Year is for, right?<br />
<br />
Maybe you do the same? Maybe it is a new concept for you?<br />
<br />
Either way, if you do it, let us know how it goes, okay?<br />
<br />
May your list be long!Kim Radatzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09686324845624797324noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098861597842121786.post-70817771929768166872011-12-01T18:51:00.000-05:002011-12-01T18:51:09.853-05:00 <br />
I am too exhausted to write.<br />
<br />
Sorry.<br />
<br />
But while I catch my breath and rest my feet I've got a few images to share with you of the <a href="http://www.c-emersonfinearts.com/">C. Emerson Fine Arts</a> booth.<br />
<br />
Thank you, Lori, for bringing my work. I am honored.<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I came to Miami for Art Basel.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I scoured the catalogs and brochures.</div>I made detailed notes.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I planned day by day.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Then I started my day by visiting with a friend.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">And then I blew off the list.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I love lists, but it just felt right to drop everything and visit the Miami I knew while I lived here.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I moved to Miami from New York in 1977 and left for Tampa in 1998. A lot of years to do a lot of things.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I worked here. I was educated here. I met and married my husband here. I helped raise my step-children here. Essentially, I grew up here. Not as in years, though, naturally that happened too, but in maturity. I owe much to Miami.</div><br />
So, today I visited the places I where I had lived, where I worked, the colleges I attended, and some of the people I met along the way.<br />
<br />
Bittersweet. And wonderful.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow will be a killer day catching up with all of the “should’s” from today.<br />
<br />
But sometimes it is more important to LIVE life than it is to do the stuff we “should” do.<br />
<br />
I’m glad I did.<br />
<br />
I know the emotions that I experienced today will come out in my work.<br />
<br />
I can’t wait to see what it will be.<br />

</tbody></table>I hope you are better at it than I. I suck at it!<br />
<br />
But 10 days of unexpected down time has forced me to rethink how I spend my energy from day to day.<br />
<br />
I fell down the stairs 7 years ago. Graceful, I am not. As I was airborne I made a conscious effort to protect my spine from a direct hit. Quick thinker, thankfully, I am. It worked, though I did suffer some permanent damage. Multiple herniated disks top that list. Which periodically rear their ugly heads and force me to stop everything.<br />
<br />
Hence the rethinking.<br />
<br />
I know my priorities. I make lists. I remind myself. But inevitably I say "yes" to things that take more out of me than I gain in return. This has to stop.<br />
<br />
I don’t expect to change completely overnight, but hopefully I will remember to take care of myself and my needs first. How can I help other people when I need help getting out of bed?<br />
<br />
I'll keep you posted on how that goes. :)<br />
<br />
I did manage to make more envelopes for my <em>Letters to My Lover</em> series which will be in the <a href="http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?llr=cdg4tneab&v=0012kO3uRH1XjAt-L1Cfvw-P_6oNXlaycLZpP86DrupEP2AV2PuCh0DB-A218czVLU38cxbjDyXfn8ujP72hHRC0qc3GB0SlQ8oKvdnMNw2WuW1fz-E6Q5wGf7M8YfYIfkdMuVEpAkRQVjjRllofYk717X_mpyiz-Mq">SCOPE</a> show in Miami next week. Nothing like a motivator such as that! :)<br />
<br />
Here are a few that I’d like to share with you:<br />
