Momentum and Keeping It

"Under False Moons", first piece of 2020 complete!
Just finished up my first piece of 2020 and it was one of those pieces that just needed to come out. You aren't sure where it came from but there it was. It definitely speaks to a lot of issues that are important to me. Wildlife conservation, protection of natural resources and lands, light pollution....to name a few. In general humans are not kind to this planet or the animals we share it with and yeah-we are kind of the problem with everything.
But I'll digress because it's all in the painting now.

Heres where it started- I like looking back to see the first thing I thought I needed to tackle. Cotton candy clouds apparently 😂 Granted they are the element that takes the most finessing for me. I'm trying to be "looser" in some regards and still keep my signature tight work too. This painting was just me working out things I needed to work out. I also think it will be a lovely edition to a future book I plan to put together. Will discuss that when it comes time to though. But now it is time to keep the momentum going because two solo shows are sitting on my calendar!

So about to go deep into new experimental (for me) work and create some new and exciting things. It's tough to balance the creating of art AND trying to make rent/bills at the same time so Im also trying to launch Patreon soon- so donors who find what I do worthwhile and want to keep me creating for the world can donate to support the work. Im hoping it will be fruitful because it will be lots of hard work on my part.

Until I get that up and running any supporters can donate any amount to my Paypal: ptrixie3@yahoo.com (Donate button on sidebar)

I appreciate any and all support!
So the Wolf painting will be next to be printed and will kickstart my fundraising for Australia because I'm overwhelmingly sad about what's going on there. 20% of all print sales will be used towards donating to various charities that are helping fight the fire and provide aid to the victims of the fire- a lot of our animal friends unfortunately. 😞
Ok I'm off to prepare the studio for new creations. Thanks for reading and supporting!
"Under False Moons" 36"x36" acrylic on canvas is AVAILABLE for purchase. $800. Direct message for purchase.

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 ...

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...

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 ...
