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! : )

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...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie. I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...

The calm during the storm

Fist Pumps! Cool rainy weather has hit Dallas. Just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and Oktoberfest...which I just happened to be at yesterday by happenstance. Oktoberfest that is, not the Fair. No, I did not have any bier. I did have a fun time walking around between biergartens and weiner dog races in the rain with good company though! I had to drop off my piece "FLOURISH" to a place in McKinney Tx called ORISONS who will be having a gallery walk in a few weeks. There were a lot of people down there for the festivities so they wanted the work to show off to all the traffic. It's been quite a week(end) and I just wanted to pop off a blog to say thanks to everyone who has been supporting by coming to the shows and making purchases and just high fiving me on facebook, etc. THANKS SO MUCH! I've been working my tail off in the studio- that's the part you don't see...but hopefully you can see it in my work when it's done. All the t...
