The Shift

Beautiful prints on Canson papers courtesy of @renerodzart

Semi caught up on work projects so taking some time today to load up the Shopify shop. My sister in SF sent me some beautiful prints she had done for me from Dick Blick- they are on nice Canson papers and the colors are lush! My sister is also an artist and she's painting some lovely watercolors- you can check her out on Instagram @renerodzart

So a little admin time today and also I started a new piece I'm excited to jump in to.
It is actually based on the little print up there, "Las Grutas". Really enjoying exploring textures and different techniques of late. I feel like I had to go inward to next level myself..so no exhibits, no stressful deadlines and competitions. Just the pure art of creating/exploring and leaving the world to its own devices. I AM LOVING IT.
Since jumping off facebook I have found myself filling my time with not just more creating but more learning. I've been watching tutorials on resin pouring, yupo paper and alcohol inks and even how to make a proper sage bundle 🌞 I've been scouting out mushrooms and taking more Nature photos.
And not being a total recluse in the woods- I've been having quality hang outs with friends. Sharing a meal. Watching a band. Taking time out of the day for a small visit. Not feeling stressed or pressured to be "social". Meditating and focusing on the "now" has slowed life down and I am appreciating the shift.
I look at which direction the clouds are slowly moving, I notice the shift in season and weather. I tune myself in to the quality of the day.
Today I play like a child in the studio, do some work-work and go catch Ozzy with a dear friend this evening.
A small "cold front" has come in and it's my favorite....anticipation for real Fall weather soon. 🍁🍂
Enjoy the day!

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...
