Friday is relevant to my interests

"Mad for Merlot" acrylic/krylon on vinyl record $65 for VINO and VINYL at Wine Therapist 9/28

Happy Friday everyone! I'm in the thick of painting records so I'm going to make this short....oh yeah I have a graphic design deadline today too. YIKES! Monday is the deadline to turn in all my artwork for Wine Therapist. YIKES! Tuesday I have a job interview....wait hold the presses, that's right I said job interview. What's funny is how when I post I'm interviewing for a job everyone cheers and high fives and I appreciate that, I really do. But don't you know I'm doing the best job in the world right now painting my heart out and offering my skills up for everyones use? Unfortunately the world doesn't value that as highly as it should. It's not like it was back in Michelangelos day... where if you had artistic skills you were highly sought after and regarded. Artists really are thought of as slackers these days. People WANT you to be working somewhere. Kind of amazing but I digress...so yes, an interview that I only applied for because it was relevant to my interests

I'm sure my friends are just high fiving the prospect of me having more money, right? RIGHT!

I'll post more about the job if I get it, I totally have the mindset that if it's meant to be so be it and if not so be it as well. I am 2 years in to working for myself, just me and my little paintbrushes doing our thing. However I'm also just about out of cash. The job would be part time which is necessary for me to continue working on my art AND it is in the art field which is awesome. So we'll see what happens! In the meantime, work, work, work on paintings and going where your heart takes you.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls. These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...

One thing leads to another

Sometimes it just takes one little action to get things rolling in the right direction. For me the action was ordering a giant roll of bubble wrap I didn't even have space for and when it arrived I had to figure out where it would live because my cats were already trying to hug it with their teeth and sharp little claws. Also, why bubble wrap? What for? I'm a big believer in taking some sort of action, big or small to make yourself move in a certain direction. I also believe in productive manifesting and the bubble wrap symbolized shipping. Shipping art out. Shipping lots of art out. Shipping out so much art I was justified in living with a big roll of bubble wrap for awhile! So step one: order the bubble wrap and step two was the fun task of... Making a place for it to live. So manifesting was already happening and I decided I needed a designated area for shipping supplies and hell.. My printer needed a proper home too. I had a very messy shelf with an old printer on ...
