Go elf, go!


Hard at work painting for Design District Pop Up and State Fair! My newest was this fun pink cactus...
Which kind of looks like its nested in a corazon made of a pink and purple agate. I've moved up from 9x12 and 11x14... to 16x20's this week.

Heres the current studio view- hanging above my print and matting area


The piece that's not hanging has been claimed-also its the piece I chose for high end prints. These will be lovely on nice Rives paper.
Finally got some approvals on some commercial work so finally getting a small check this week! Much needed as ordering prints and product for the Fair is killin me 😜 Its times like these I could really use a business loan!

New cactus products I'll have at the Fair- very small quantities (like 1 or 2 until I can get funds to order more) but love these!

But it is what it is and Im using my wits, imagination and creativity to make do with what I have. Ordering a little product here and there as Im able and just painting my butt off daily. Everything will fall into place, it always does. 
Hope everyone is having a great week! I'm just over here with nose to grindstone elfing it up in my studio! ❤ See you all soon!
Save the date! Sept 19!
This is going to be your next chance to get the cactus series and new pieces! 🌵

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
