Art Week!

A very zoomed in zoom of my newest work in progress

I'm totally addicted to working on my newest painting. I will wake up at 4:30 am and want to go right in there and paint but tell myself that is insanity and sleep would serve me better through the day. Then I end up getting out of bed at 5:30 and coming into the studio to stare at it and make mental notes. It is like that sometimes, like you've fallen in love and can't get enough of the work. Yes, I realize I'm maybe a little crazy too.
It's Art Week for me. I say that because I have 2 art openings in one week. Let's recap in case you haven't been paying attention...
THURSDAY
AND THE TIME HAS BEEN CHANGED TO 7PM!
This should be a fun little show that has gotten quite a buzz because it's kinda mysterious. I've had people asking me what the scoop is and even I don't know. So, come out and we'll figure out the mystery together! Looks like free vodka. Looks like a good time! Here is the event page on facebook if you want to rsvp  https://www.facebook.com/events/279467012168644/

Then the very next evening on FRIDAY is my solo art party at THE WINE THERAPIST! HOORAY! Please do come out and say hello! I worked really hard getting everything ready for it and maybe, maybe if the new piece is done in time it will be revealed exclusively for this. MAYBE?!
VINO AND VINYL: THE ART OF PATRICIA RODRIGUEZ
FRIDAY 7:30PM at THE WINE THERAPIST (1810 Skillman  Dallas, Tx)
And heres the facebook event invite for you:  https://www.facebook.com/events/246025872186658/

So Art Parties to celebrate the hard work at last! Hooray! But in the meantime it's lots of work in the studio and also...the gym! Balance is everything. It's too easy to keep sitting in the studio and not getting my exercise in. Luckily my sister lit a fire under me with the "punkplankaday". We're keeping up with each other on twitter and doing our planks to a new punk song every day. Planks look easy but just try holding one all the way through "Stranded" by The Saints and you'll think twice about that. The Ramones never sounded so good! Gabba Gabba Hey and away I go!

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...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...

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...
