Clearing the Clock

These pieces were sold and collected last week in my second round of posting originals up for grabs. I am really feeling the support right now- which is great because I'm on the cusp of lots of changes.

(Another one that was collected, I really enjoyed the color palette!)

I started the year totally swamped with other people's dreams and no time for my own. I'm happy to say that this week at least one of those time eaters has fallen away. Now I just have one more to wrestle with. It's good to constantly evaluate what is working for you and what isn't. If it eats up all my time, barely pays and I don't feel valued - it gets cut. If I feel at all like my time or feelings aren't considered- I have no space for it. Because I know I can paint for my lovely people and they can support me- I have the power to kick things to the curb that don't serve me.

(All SOLD and collected last week!)

So I'm moving forward and trying to focus on my business and art and leave other people's dreams to them as my own dreams need all my focus. This could be bumpy and rough but I have faith.

TEASER SHOT- UNFINISHED PIECES

These two that were unfinished at time of shooting- will be going up for grabs this morning. I had no time to do my email campaign but I'll be sending out something before they go up. I hope some lucky collectors grab them at MY SHOPIFY

And I look forward to catching up on my work and painting more for you soon! Thank you so much awesome supporters! ♥️ Don't forget your dreams are important too!

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...

Down Time

work in progress, my first MUNNY It's been a whirlwind of cleaning, organizing and getting ready for the holidays. There are now small signs of Christmas here, a wreath on the door, the tiny tree is up and garland is flocking the doorway. I sent out some Christmas cards and bought the Christmas ham to share with my family. I guess I need to find a pie though, absolutely forgot about that. Some friends are coming over tonight so I'm making my studio presentable for whoever would like to see it....it's a dining room, don't expect some cool amazing room filled with cool amazing things. In fact almost all my art is NOT EVEN HERE. And actually the get together is being held next door at my friend and landlords place so I don't have to break my back trying to be the hostess with the mostest awesome house. I'm an artist with 3 cats and too much stuff, it's never gonna be pretty. But I digress, this blog is about that creepy looking head up there.... I need...

2026 Petty Edition

I just missed blogging here. On Patreon it's always a focused point and hits people's mailboxes directly and I feel like I might be bothering them This is more Dear Diary let me dump my brain out here. It's 2026 and I am on point and focused on a goal. I'm a harpoon heading for my mark and I've already done the hard part of getting accepted into my goal- The Other Art Fair . If you know me you know I have put in the time, the hours, weeks, months and years. I've sacrificed everything and stripped away everything stoically to the barest essentials to be an artist. Lost social scenes, Fair weather friends and missed out on experiences. Some of that is alright. Some of that is painful. I can definitely only keep friends who understand I am that weird friend you hardly see who is walking a monks path to my destination. I have a dream and purpose and lots of people do not. I am aware of my time here and my gift to use and some people think time is endless and...
