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!

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...

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...

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...
