Clean Sweep

(Some of the artists from project 7x7 met at Rising Gallery this past Saturday)

There are a couple of things that will make me break out the broom and do some serious cleaning. One- if I have company coming over. Two- if said company is wielding a video camera. Three- if my studio is going to be focused on in said video cameras lens. So all three of those things are coming together this Friday evening. I am doing a tiny short interview for the Project 7 x 7 and it's taking place in my studio/ dining room so...Pledge, broom, dustpan....let's get with it!
I needed this to happen to MAKE me clean my studio. Its been a mess since Ive been working full time and not able to catch all the random things my cats have decided to throw in the floor. I also have enough fur swept up to make two whole new pets!
So thats what Im doing this week besides battling the horrible PAIN that sets upon me every month for a few days. Not to get too personal in an art blog but I have painful cysts on my ovaries and when they decide to get my attention it is all I can do to stop myself from going to the ER (which Ive done on a couple of occasions) because I know that does no good. So its a steady diet of Aleve and lots of water and whining for a few days. It is the worst pain in the world and I really need to go get a proper test done and battle this thing once and for all. But enough about pain and more about painting....hopefully I can update the painting later this evening. If the studio is clean.

Down Time

work in progress, my first MUNNY It's been a whirlwind of cleaning, organizing and getting ready for the holidays. There are now small signs of Christmas here, a wreath on the door, the tiny tree is up and garland is flocking the doorway. I sent out some Christmas cards and bought the Christmas ham to share with my family. I guess I need to find a pie though, absolutely forgot about that. Some friends are coming over tonight so I'm making my studio presentable for whoever would like to see it....it's a dining room, don't expect some cool amazing room filled with cool amazing things. In fact almost all my art is NOT EVEN HERE. And actually the get together is being held next door at my friend and landlords place so I don't have to break my back trying to be the hostess with the mostest awesome house. I'm an artist with 3 cats and too much stuff, it's never gonna be pretty. But I digress, this blog is about that creepy looking head up there.... I need...

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

2026 Petty Edition

 I just missed blogging here. On Patreon it's always a focused point and hits people's mailboxes directly and I feel like I might be bothering them  This is more Dear Diary let me dump my brain out here.  It's 2026 and I am on point and focused on a goal. I'm a harpoon heading for my mark and I've already done the hard part of getting accepted into my goal- The Other Art Fair . If you know me you know I have put in the time, the hours, weeks, months and years. I've sacrificed everything and stripped away everything stoically to the barest essentials to be an artist.  Lost social scenes, Fair weather friends and missed out on experiences. Some of that is alright. Some of that is painful. I can definitely only keep friends who understand I am that weird friend you hardly see who is walking a monks path to my destination. I have a dream and purpose and lots of people do not. I am aware of my time here and my gift to use and some people think time is endless and...
