Art Week!

A very zoomed in zoom of my newest work in progress

I'm totally addicted to working on my newest painting. I will wake up at 4:30 am and want to go right in there and paint but tell myself that is insanity and sleep would serve me better through the day. Then I end up getting out of bed at 5:30 and coming into the studio to stare at it and make mental notes. It is like that sometimes, like you've fallen in love and can't get enough of the work. Yes, I realize I'm maybe a little crazy too.
It's Art Week for me. I say that because I have 2 art openings in one week. Let's recap in case you haven't been paying attention...
THURSDAY
AND THE TIME HAS BEEN CHANGED TO 7PM!
This should be a fun little show that has gotten quite a buzz because it's kinda mysterious. I've had people asking me what the scoop is and even I don't know. So, come out and we'll figure out the mystery together! Looks like free vodka. Looks like a good time! Here is the event page on facebook if you want to rsvp  https://www.facebook.com/events/279467012168644/

Then the very next evening on FRIDAY is my solo art party at THE WINE THERAPIST! HOORAY! Please do come out and say hello! I worked really hard getting everything ready for it and maybe, maybe if the new piece is done in time it will be revealed exclusively for this. MAYBE?!
VINO AND VINYL: THE ART OF PATRICIA RODRIGUEZ
FRIDAY 7:30PM at THE WINE THERAPIST (1810 Skillman  Dallas, Tx)
And heres the facebook event invite for you:  https://www.facebook.com/events/246025872186658/

So Art Parties to celebrate the hard work at last! Hooray! But in the meantime it's lots of work in the studio and also...the gym! Balance is everything. It's too easy to keep sitting in the studio and not getting my exercise in. Luckily my sister lit a fire under me with the "punkplankaday". We're keeping up with each other on twitter and doing our planks to a new punk song every day. Planks look easy but just try holding one all the way through "Stranded" by The Saints and you'll think twice about that. The Ramones never sounded so good! Gabba Gabba Hey and away I go!

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...

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...
