Despite the issues I had after, I am VERY glad I went. So, I'll probably go......<BR/><BR/>Lisa, thanks for putting that so clearly for me. Where I want to be is exactly why I haven't yet decided NOT to go, I mean financially it's a no brainer-I shouldn't spend the money. But I do know what I want and when, and the residency in Feb. is important for that to happen. I'll probably go....<BR/><BR/>Katherine, The best thing would be to make some real progress developing the figurative work, the worst would be putting our sensitive family finances at risk.<BR/><BR/>If I stay home, I won't feel completely responsible for our financial issues which would be the best thing. The worst would be not having recent work ready to approach new galleries with, sometime before the current decade ends anyway. I'll probably go.....Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-5401971060378075442008-12-13T04:33:00.000-05:002008-12-13T04:33:00.000-05:00What's the best and the worst thing that could hap...What's the best and the worst thing that could happen if you go?<BR/><BR/>What's the best and the worst thing that could happen if you stay home?<BR/><BR/>I loved hearing about your stay last year - but I'd hate for you to be stressed out if it made you feel like you've made the wrong decision or you're doing the wrong thing/in the wrong place/have stuffed your timetable for 'getting things done'.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-87047891141834542832008-12-12T21:20:00.000-05:002008-12-12T21:20:00.000-05:00I've been working on making decisions based on whe...I've been working on making decisions based on where I want to be in my life, not where I am. Which is why I am building my studio right now. I can't as easily be where I want to be without the studio. <BR/><BR/>So where do you want to be? Does this put you closer to that position?Lisa Callhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757517309377110626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-53045150466519299122008-12-12T20:15:00.000-05:002008-12-12T20:15:00.000-05:00I hope you confirm your suspicions about the fact ...I hope you confirm your suspicions about the fact that you will go to vsc. I loved reading about your experiences while you were there last year. So much, that I've looked into going in the future. I had a great experience at Columbus College of Art and Design- a week for AP Studio art teachers in which it was mandatory to use their wonderful studios daily from 3 pm onward. I connected (like you did at vsc) with many interesting people and I produced lots of work/and generated new ideas--which I'm currently working with. Have Fun!!indigomarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924686419923499022noreply@blogger.com
