Sunday Funday

               New work in the studio

Sundays should be for lazing about but today I have much to do. Finish this new painting (its just about done) and a friend is stopping by to get his record art and....
Yesterday I was given a van full of totes that contain a plethora of stuff from a friend's studio 😲 Some stuff I can use and some I will part away to various people. But as of right now my living room is a construction zone and that's what I'm working on today. Sorting!
It will be fun and I'll have lots of ideas for how to use the new supplies and who I think will get some use out of stuff. 📦
Had some fun and relaxation at a spa yesterday for FREE! Glo Sun Spa was doing an open house where you could try their services for free. My sister and I both got our first spray tans. Lol! I am not a "tan" kind of person but I was really curious about this Jetsons style device. It's kinda like a human carwash but youre getting a paintjob! 😂😂😂
I got the LIGHTEST option available and now I look barely kissed by the sun and have lil bikini tan lines 👙 What a funny contraption!
Before that I tried out my first POD thing- hydrating massage capsule with infrared light. I liked this!
It was 25 minutes of being in a space capsule with changing colored lights, infused aromatherapy steam and a vibrating table that kinda instantly cleared my sinuses and started to make me salivate. Weird much?! I can only guess that it was doing some lymph node magic or something- it was awesome. I sweated and enjoyed the heat and my skin felt nice and tightened up afterward.
Fun spa time with my sister I never get to hang with and now we both look like we hit the beach. 😘 🌞 🌴
Today it's back to sorting, organizing and work!
Enjoy your Sunday- laze about for me!

Jim Rockford was keeping me broke

Ah Rockford files, a comfortable and silly way to unwind after work. Yes, I am completely aware that I've turned into my Dad and watching Dad shows totally cements that theory. I had to start looking at the handsome James Garner in a new light though... He was a rich and famous star in his time and every evening spent curled up watching Rockford Files was an evening a painting wasn't getting worked on. No painting, no art show material. No painting, no galleries. No painting, no money. Would James Garner be watching TV every evening in a tired drowsy ball and not getting stuff done? Probably not.  So I pulled myself away from TV land in the evenings and devoted at least a little time in the mornings as well. Even if it's just ten minutes. Even if you are just filling in all the blacks, blues or whatever... It is progress. Something is better than nothing. I'm proud to say this little habit tweak has totally kicked my butt into gear and I'm producing at a rate I'

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

The Backstory- cliff notes edition

  Skip navigation  little backstory I was totally working for myself as an artist and you know what? It was HARD! Harder than hard and harder than any job ever. But it was the most rewarding experience and I learned so much about so many things and I want to share that knowledge with you guys... My VIP art club. I didn't get a fair shake from the very beginning of my art career. I suffered a back injury at my "muggle" job which required a lot of physical therapy to get over and which I will have with me forever now. It was actually the impetus for me to quit my job and start being an artist! So I turned my bad luck into fuel for my fire. I saved 5k (painstakingly while enduring all the BS at a terrible job) and then I made the leap. I was so excited and optimistic about working for myself! I had sold little pieces here and there and was sure it was only upwards from there. 2 weeks into my freedom- my Dad died unexpectedly. What came next was indescribable DEPRESSION and a
