Upswing? Maybe?


I may possibly be on the upswing as far as this cold is concerned...at least I hope so. These things have been known to grab you back under and drag you into the murky depths just when you think you're safe. But heading into my studio today to work and just staying on top of symptoms...and zinc.
I've got two records to knock out and get sent off and need to go get the Buddha scanned so I can make prints. Being in bed miserable gave me lots of time to think about my long list of to-dos. I should have caught up on reading but fevers and sneezing and coughing don't make that very enjoyable.
One thing I did do was start the gargantuan task of pricing Print On Demand prints that I'll be offering soon and start loading those into the Shopify. I'm starting mainly with some digital art I've done.
"Trio" mixed media digital art print

Example of digital/ physical media art I've been playing with. Im hoping to offer a whole series of abstract digital prints this year on paper and canvas, etc. These started as a watercolor/ acrylic on paper in the studio and then gets digitally manipulated. It's fun to do on the side when I'm not painting on canvases. I need to be producing more in every aspect I can. 
I got a bite on my first proposal on the new work platform. I was surprised because the webinar made it seem like a long hard slog to get a return message. Beginners luck? We'll see if it turns into a project after all. 
Got my tickets to Idaho and first week of April I am THERE painting clouds on the ceiling! Super psyched- I get to see a mountain! In Dallas there is no such thing. So MUST GET BETTER cause theres lots to do! Have agood and healthy week my peeps!

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...

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 ...
