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...

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...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...
