Focus, focus!

                Proof I still play with paintbrushes!

Trying to mentally get back into the swing of things and ART is on my mind. It has, admittedly, been some time since I've painted anything for myself and the urge is growing. I'm also splitting my time with the bass guitar and also in the middle of an art studio upheaval and trying to get things sorted out so I can sit down to paint.

I actually have a potential commission for some work so I need to get sorted quickly! Working on a friend's album art insert this week and planning new work in my brain. 

Work at the part time is still fun and I'm learning some new faux finishing techniques like painting wood to mimic crema marfil marble. I'll post the finished piece next week. It's busy and interesting times in my life right now!

The little feral is still hanging out with me as I try to find it a proper home while petting it and loving it as much as I can. It now tolerates pets and purrs loudly and doesn't seem so agitated at human hands. 😊 Progress!!
That's about it with me- busy, trying to get my brain focused, trying to do too many things and stay positive all will work out for the best. Also getting back on the health kick I was on before I got derailed by life, weather and weirdness. 
Have a great weekend friends!

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...

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...
