Days are Days

 
take time to smell the roses...

It might seem a little strange to passersby to see me running in the morning getting my jog on, in my zone and at a steady pace and then to just stop dead- whip out my cellphone and frame a tree in my camera lens and snap a shot. Oh I just messed up my running momentum! But that tree was calling my name, the natural arch it was creating against the sky, the lighting, the grace of the curve....or the bright pink rose bushes that line the golf course I run by...how vibrant and colorful. Snap, snap,snap! Collecting little photos, touching the tree bark, smelling the roses. 
Today is Saturday and for most that means "weekend" but for me I have found it is when I really start getting in the mood to paint. In fact I often "work" during the weekends and do a little "resting" on the weekdays. Not exactly sure why except that I am starting to not care what day it is, it's another day to me. We invented the term 'work week' and 'tgif' and 'weekend' but really those words mean nothing. Days are days and you can do just as much wonderfulness, work or nothingness on any given day if you choose. Today I awoke at 5:30am with the burning desire to work and get some orders done so I could paint my own stuff. If all goes according to plan I will have a space lined up to show in mid September and will need as much work as possible. I am about to rev up the work engine and will have to push hard, expect new small affordable works soon as well as seeing a new painting I'm excited about. Much to do in my world so I better get to it. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Words!

  Hello! I haven't blogged since last year. Even writing the word "blog" felt foreign and weird! I have actually been writing stuff on my Patreon account so if you've missed the updates you can sign up for free over there. There is also an option to pay a few dollars a month to help support me as an artist and get "extra" content- in case you are of that mindset and either way- thank you for caring about the art adventures.  I have missed blogging actually. I guess I like to make words, string them together like a pretty necklace and let them live their own expressive life wrapped around me.  Times are different. Times are weird! But I guess you know that. And also times are the same and as old as time. Is it really more terrible than any other time or are we humans just more "connected" to the propaganda and daily bad trip in a way that is insane and unhealthy? Either way I do my best to keep my sanity and I don't believe about 98% of what I s...

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...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...
