Scandalous! Hot dates with Wine!

I'm doing some WINE themed records specifically for the WINE THERAPIST show. And a date just popped up for the opening so get out your little red pens and mark this on your calendar....SEPT 28!
More details pending as I get them but that's where I am right now. I'd like to say I'm shooting for a certain number of records to have completed for this but I decided my life was stressful enough with out that so I'm just painting as much as I possibly can every day and wherever I land on the number board is where I land. These records are fun little throwbacks to the trashy vintage pulp novels of the 60's and 70's and will feature different wines. I'll also have a couple of the rocker records for the show and some of my canvas works so you'll get to see the many facets of Patricia Rodriguez.
I took this photo before Summer kicked in. I was working at a mural studio and this was on my way to 7-11 around the corner. It reminds me of going to get Push-Up pops for me and my friends at the studio. It reminds me of working somewhere else and it reminds me that the sun is always shining up there if you stop and look...you might even see some flowers and find beauty in the day.
The Blondie record I did needed a dark brooding bad ass brunette counterpart so Joan Jett had to be created. She will be one of the records works up for viewing and grabs at the Wine Therapist show. The day beckons with more work to be done, I'm making a trip out to McKinney TX today to take my Doodle Bug painting to be shot for a catalog and luckily, luckily some sweet soul bought me some coffee since I had totally forgotten with all the stress and work I've been under.
Thank you! Another cup of joe and some breakfast and a shower and it's GO TIME!
Have a wonderful, productive day. Remember the sun is shining up there, somewhere, can you find it? Can you feel it? I think you can!  : )

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...

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 ...

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 ...
