Wings!

So many little updates and changes to post about!
First I want to say that the Project 7x7 show has been pushed back a little so please pull out the ol' calendar again and mark JUNE 1 as the new event -this will allow the show to be up a little longer for everyone to see the work. I hope you can make it out! All the artists work are so diverse and it will be exciting to see the completed collaborative pieces in person. Project 7x7 are running little spotlight features on each artist and I'm up right now, check out : Project 7x7 FEATURED ARTIST
In other news, I'm going to get a little taste of what it was like to be a kid again. SUMMER VACATION! At least a month of it. I'm finishing up a project at work and after next week I'll have some free time to work on building up my own arsenal of paintings to start aiming at galleries and competitions. A little much needed downtime from the ladder is welcome right now. I also have high hopes of cleaning this damn house and ....hanging  around outside in my backyard...a little pleasure I have missed! Downtime while freelancing is the nature of the business so luckily I have saved up a little cash to weather me through. Its no exotic vacation but it will feel excellent to work on my paintings :)
I will definitely have to do some day hiking and exploring in this gorgeous weather. If you're itching to get your drawing bug scratched I suggest you head over to Dr. Sketchy's tomorrow at La Grange for the May Comic Book Pin Up Session featuring Taffeta Darling. I have provided the tunes that will be wafting through the air. Check out the event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/364352266935767/
 A beautiful weekend ahead and I hear sushi is in my forecast...have a great weekend amigos!

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls.   These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...

Don't believe the hype!

Don't believe the hype! This is a blog about the way things ARE and the way they should be The way things are: An artist supplies work to a gallery. Let's break this down in real world terms...an artists supplies a sellable product to a gallery (retail environment).  The client buys the product.  There are 3 entities involved artist gallery client   The way things should be: Each entity should be considered equally important and no greater or lesser than the other. Artist promotes to their greatest extent. Gallery promotes to it's greatest extent and Client supports at their greatest extent= $$$. Sounds like a logical way of coexisting and making things run correctly however it isn't always the case if hardly ever. Usually someone does not pull their weight and the $$$ never happens at the end of it. Sometimes the artist is treated like a lesser equation in the process. The gallery would be what without the artists work? A bunch of empty walls. So...
