Beauty for Lost Loves

"The Path of Intuition" 24" x 24" acrylic/krylon on gallery wrapped canvas

Well, there it is. What I've been filling my hours with daily of late. This is the second canvas in the "Path of" series...if you'll remember this little guy is the predecessor:
"The Path of Fruitfulness" 24" x 24" acrylic/krylon on gallery wrapped canvas

And they both come hot on the heels of the one who started it all:
"The World of Traceable Ghosts" 30" x 40" acrylic/krylon on gallery wrapped canvas

It looks like a new little body of work is slowly coming together!
I've been getting asked to participate in a lot of art shows lately and unfortunately I have all my work tied up and have no other work to show. This means it's time to paint my ass off....even more than I've already been doing...which has already been full throttle! Luckily I have ideas flowing through me now like a hot current. A lot of this recent work has been spawned by strange dreams I've been having. Glow in the dark white snails, giant bugs...I don't know why they come to me in my dreams but I take them as gifts and put them on canvas. In the really, real world I've been losing friends and people I love to disease and painting helps me not fall into the pit of sadness. I feel like I must put beauty back into the world where it is lost. 
I made a little instagrammy of my fruit bat. He is the source of inspiration for the title "Path of Intuition", because bats are blind and rely on their intuition and excellent skills they are able to survive. Actually I dedicate this little bat to my friend, fellow artist and blogger  Amy Willis who is slowly losing her eyesight.  She writes a blog "There Is Beauty in Chance" and you can check out her art there as well. 
And I want to give props to the friends who make it worthwhile for me...the ones who care enough to communicate how much they like my work! Sometimes I can't even get someone to tell me if the mailman delivered the piece they bought. :O Come on world, take a second to care! My friend Natan has been collecting my stuff for the past couple of years and made these cool little photos and plastered them on my facebook wall to remind me of my old friends he has collected. : ) This really made my day. There are a few more, I'll share throughout the week. And also my friend Billy Coleman who always shows me where my piece is hanging at his place:
Billy also has my print for "Traceable Ghosts" in a dope frame and mat. Also a shout out to ARTBOT 138 who has really been an awesome friend to me. I painted him a tiny R2D2 (he has a collection to rival anyones!) and he actually kissed it when he saw it. Aw! That's some love!
R2-Wee2

Ok, time to get the hive abuzz with work. Just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the support and friendship. Put something beautiful into the day!

One thing leads to another

Sometimes it just takes one little action to get things rolling in the right direction. For me the action was ordering a giant roll of bubble wrap I didn't even have space for and when it arrived I had to figure out where it would live because my cats were already trying to hug it with their teeth and sharp little claws.  Also, why bubble wrap? What for?  I'm a big believer in taking some sort of action, big or small to make yourself move in a certain direction. I also believe in productive manifesting and the bubble wrap symbolized shipping. Shipping art out. Shipping lots of art out. Shipping out so much art I was justified in living with a big roll of bubble wrap for awhile!  So step one: order the bubble wrap and step two was the fun task of... Making a place for it to live. So manifesting was already happening and I decided I needed a designated area for shipping supplies and hell.. My printer needed a proper home too. I had a very messy shelf with an old printer on ...

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...
