September

 

(detail from "Hide and Seek")
Birthday month started off beautifully with lots of friends and family wishing me happy birthday and some even making time to do some social distance stuff. So appreciated and needed. Now I'm good on people for awhile 😂 and need to cocoon in hermitude and work, work, work! Finished another painting for the Texas Women's show at Western Gallery (show is virtual and opens online Oct 2) I'll be posting more about it as we get nearer.

Birthday cakes were plentiful this year...I usually have to buy myself a slice from somewhere and no one ever just gives me a cake. This year there were TWO 🤤

 



My sweet thoughtful friend and co-worker brought me some flowers ♥️🥰 Feeling so loved!



My mom had cake and ice cream waiting for me and we had a nice visit. So many people cannot see their family right now so believe me this was the real treat this year and yes I feel so lucky I was able to.

This is 44. I'm feeling healthy, strong and ready to work harder than ever and achieve my goals. I feel like a lot of balance is coming into my life as I learn to let go of things that don't serve me and work at being better. Right now my Endo is nowhere to be seen and I can focus on strengthening and healing my body. Art is flowing again and yeah I'm kinda happy despite the Pandemic stuff.
Sending you all good health vibes and happy smiles ♥️

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...)  Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can ...

The Age of Upgrade

BIG BATCH OF HAND PAINTED WAX FOR SAN FRANCISCO I wanted to do a  blog about the upgrade I'm doing and why. Because I am an artist and not a business person I have been lax on so many things I shouldn't have been and caused myself a lot of headaches. This was a year of growing pains for my business and days before my birthday I decided my new age of 39 would be one of grand changes. For starters...I'm typing this on an old Android phone. It's the only equipment I have. My old Mac finally gave up the ghost and I can no longer do any graphic designing in Photoshop or even save files. This will need to be upgraded, I need a computer. Let's talk about vinyl though...I started doing the vinyl about 6 years ago and they were pretty basic novice attempts at painting on vinyl. After many experiments, failures and tons of practice... I have brought them into their own. They started as $30 discs and climbed as I got better. I marked everything DOWN to $50 this year...

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...
