Here, There and Everywhere...

Detail shot of yesterdays Affordable Art: "Necessary Solitude"
collected by Damon Dycus

Yesterday was a full day meeting with spaces that want to host my art. First stop was Baylor Health Sciences Library who just completed renovations and are launching a new program of showing local emerging artists in North Texas. It's a sweet library with two big walls to fill with my bright canvases. Excited about this project as a lot of my work is inspired by health, science and the well being that art and Nature provide for us. I have recently been told my art was bought because "it makes me happy" or that "it has a healing quality". Some have said my art is "peaceful" and is put in spaces where some peace is needed (like work spaces!) Art is good therapy for your spirit. Colors will change your mood. I love that I can strike some kind of chord within another person and brighten their day, bring them a little peace or make them feel good. That's amazing! For me it is a meditative, healing, therapeutic NECESSARY thing to do this everyday. So the fact it is flowing from me to you- I can't think of a more perfect thing I could put into the world. My work is a daily reminder of the natural world, how we are connected to it intrinsically. It implores you to please go outside and enjoy the benefits of it. 
After meeting with Baylor it was off to Art-Centric in the Design District where the lovely proprietor and amazing artist Robin Ann Walker gave me a sweet tour of the gallery, showroom and studio. I want that studio! It is so huge and organized and has a great vibe to create in. I dropped two wanted pieces off to her and hopefully will get some interest to do some hotel projects and work. Then it was home to complete the Affordable Art painting and get it posted.
Yesterdays Affordable Art was collected by Damon Dycus who had been patiently waiting for another bunny to pop out of my studio. 

Super excited to have his wish fulfilled. A full day of making plans, getting work placed and creating. I am fully living out my dream as a working professional artist and am thrilled my works are finding new homes daily. Yesterday my friend Carlin left a very sweet remark on facebook which basically said that she loved that she could see my piece and without even seeing my name she knew it was one of mine. I have my own style, my own recognizable style. I have been working for this for a very long time!
Meeting with a customer and friend to get his record art to him and it's back to the canvases, I'm hoping to have this new piece finished by this weekend!
Happy Friday, have a great weekend!

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 ...

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...

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 ...
