I have a feeling this is just the first show of a future of shows. Someday I& #39;ll look back on this time, and remember how my first one was because we were all Quarantined, & my set was a short wall by the door.

It& #39;s just me, you, and my tripod. I think these are the good days (specifically about doing painting shows, obviously not about worldwide "hidden" war). My family is around me- disruptive, but I love that they are here, and their disruption is welcome. In the future, I may have

a camera crew, filming me while I paint from multiple angles, surely a stylist and probably a makeover (I always cut my own hair, I& #39;ve never had a manicure, no "treatments", wear little makeup). And... my family would be pushed away from the set.
So... I& #39;m not in a hurry for this

This Quarantine-induced push into doing shows, has given me time to think about how my life would change if I moved up professionally.
I have very mixed feelings about it.
I will take each day at a time, each step at a time. But if there is a way to be who I& #39;m meant to be,

and still inspire as many people as I& #39;m meant to inspire,
while maintaining my independence, I will fight for that.
I don& #39;t want people fussing over me, telling me how my face, hair, clothes could be better. I don& #39;t want cameras in my face. I don& #39;t like the idea of any of it.

I still like the idea of doing live shows, where I connect personally with the audience. But many people say I should have a TV show, and I honestly think I& #39;d be miserable doing that. I don& #39;t even like TV. I don& #39;t watch it. I stream a few shows, and that& #39;s it.

I think these "from home" painting shows I& #39;m starting now are my speed.
I& #39;ll stay open to something bigger, but I& #39;m not sure bigger is always better.
Those are my thoughts for today- tomorrow may be different.
