Scandalous! Hot dates with Wine!

I'm doing some WINE themed records specifically for the WINE THERAPIST show. And a date just popped up for the opening so get out your little red pens and mark this on your calendar....SEPT 28!
More details pending as I get them but that's where I am right now. I'd like to say I'm shooting for a certain number of records to have completed for this but I decided my life was stressful enough with out that so I'm just painting as much as I possibly can every day and wherever I land on the number board is where I land. These records are fun little throwbacks to the trashy vintage pulp novels of the 60's and 70's and will feature different wines. I'll also have a couple of the rocker records for the show and some of my canvas works so you'll get to see the many facets of Patricia Rodriguez.
I took this photo before Summer kicked in. I was working at a mural studio and this was on my way to 7-11 around the corner. It reminds me of going to get Push-Up pops for me and my friends at the studio. It reminds me of working somewhere else and it reminds me that the sun is always shining up there if you stop and look...you might even see some flowers and find beauty in the day.
The Blondie record I did needed a dark brooding bad ass brunette counterpart so Joan Jett had to be created. She will be one of the records works up for viewing and grabs at the Wine Therapist show. The day beckons with more work to be done, I'm making a trip out to McKinney TX today to take my Doodle Bug painting to be shot for a catalog and luckily, luckily some sweet soul bought me some coffee since I had totally forgotten with all the stress and work I've been under.
Thank you! Another cup of joe and some breakfast and a shower and it's GO TIME!
Have a wonderful, productive day. Remember the sun is shining up there, somewhere, can you find it? Can you feel it? I think you can!  : )

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...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish.  It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual.  So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
