Kicking it to the curb


My resolve was to make LOTS OF UPWARD PROGRESS this year and I have not disappointed myself yet. We are on the second month of the new year and I've successfully gotten back into painting, created a whole new art identity that garners more sales and totally re-strategized my art career. And did I mention I got a raise aside from giving myself a raise in my studio? I have sold out of new originals the same day I post them- repeatedly!

How does one do that? You start telling yourself you are worth it. YOU ARE WORTH IT. And you start clearing away all the things that tell you otherwise. You start making time for your work and your business, you start being focused about what you are trying to achieve every day. When you log into social media you have a purpose and a plan. You make your work strong and you show up and show up REAL. 

You make hard choices and yep - sometimes you gotta cut the fat and write the goodbye notes. You are looking out for your best interests and your life and well being. You are worth it. Start from there and believe it. Big changes start happening in your world. See where you are wasting your time and what's not yielding results and find the solution. And above all else always express gratitude

Because while creating your work felt like a solo drive in no man's land- it is your supporters and public and friends and family who keep you going. Day after day.
Big thanks to all of you daily! And if you enjoy my content and want to keep up with more upward moves and tips to get out of the rut- get on my mailing list by sending your email address to me. ♥️ I never spam! Have a great day and remember- YOU ARE WORTH IT!

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...

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...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...
