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!

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 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...
