Ideas and shows

Everyone has been telling me i need to go bigger in my pictures. And i need to consider an entry for the art show in the kantonal gallery- i have been trying for the last couple years - i will try two abstract pieces that i had done in malcafe- they were stunning as is in gouache but my friends remind me that i could do these abstract sky, and redo my piece across the blue horizon. I might do these in oil instead of acrylic. But i have a better choice of colours in acrylic and can play a lot more with oil or acrylic 
I now have learned a system to price my pieces when i am doing a commision- i have a few commisions to do so they are keeping me hopping-but i need to get through my daughters birthday first. 
The piƱata is causing me a bit of grief falling apart in a corner!  I have such plans with this little piece. Oh well will try to see ohow it dries and maybe i could save it.
Working on a rose commision and i realised i was getting restless with the piece-?weekend  take a break and start what i want to present to the art gallery.  Then go back. Maybe i'll get more inspired- i would really like to finish the piece, but my issues with following through with goals is scraming at me. 
In the background i want to create a calendar to sell this year and to give to family as a present.
Too much work and no direction feeling just overwhelmed in my work.
But i will try to see through- hell we have a show in october, a possible show for november through to january and trying to get in with the gallery. To get my art known.
My mother told me that i really do speak through my art, i am so grateful i have the studio, to bounce ideas, be inspired, understand each other.  So i don't shut down when i need to do the work.
