Phase 1 Complete!


"Jardine Azul" acrylic/ink on canvas

For a brief moment after completing a painting it gets to live in my home and make my house look like an upscale snazz pad. In the case of this commission it was always destined and designed for another's home. Le sigh! But really, Im excited the collectors are coming by today to see it and pick it up 🙌
And knowing I would have guests over lit a fire under my buns to: GET THIS PLACE CLEANED UP! So its been a hustle and bustle doing just that. I also thought that while Im cleaning and organizing I should start taking steps for the Fall open studios- so I started hanging up the work that had not yet sold.
Tuco the studio cat likes helping me hang the art.

I have a darling little stairwell with big blank walls so that was a great place to start hanging. A nice 100 year old church pew is a cute little spot to take a sitdown and see the art.
Wild pieces in the Stare Well Gallery (pun intended)

I've also been reading up on home galleries and looking at little photos from home art galleries- how fun! Im excited to do my own little open studio/ housewarming/ home gallery opening this season.
But that was Phase 1...now comes Phase 2...creating more work and getting fresh prints and affordables stocked.  
There is never an end to the things to do!

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 ...

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...

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 ...
