End of March

Last week to catch ARTE LATINO at LuminArte Gallery- the show closes on April 6!

This month has been nuts, really can't believe it's already over. My health issues and ER adventure really set me back this month on where I need to be for paintings for the shows. I'm trying to finish up some commission projects I took on so I can get back to the work at hand- massive amounts of paintings for WAAS Gallery and Baylor. Hopefully wrapping up all commissions this weekend and hitting the canvas fresh on Monday. The Arte Latino show is closing this week so if you've yet to check it out please go give it a peep! :)
My health has been up and down, since the giant cyst is on my ovary the pain and problems I have are cyclical. I feel like a ticking time bomb set to detonate next week. I'm pretty fearful, especially is its as bad as the last one which sent me to the ER. So I'm taking extra special care of myself and not eating anything that would exacerbate the problem and lots and lots of water. I'm crossing my fingers next week comes and goes with no problem, especially since I can't take OTC meds to help with the pain now.
The program I'm trying to get into to get my followups won't be accepting appointments until MAY. : / Thats a long time to wonder if a cyst is cancerous or not. I'm just going to file it away and not think about it right now. Paint, paint, paint and try to figure out recipes with coconut and almond flour. Cutting stuff like flour tortillas and bread out means baking alternative style. 
Managed to keep the lights on and the water, hopefully the gas stays on until more monies comes in from magic land. Waiting on a mural job to start but no start date confirmed, I'm in limbo, poor limbo but must stay positive and keep working. Working will save me! 
A friend suggested I do a kickstarter kinda fundraiser thing but until I know how much followups cost I won't be able to set an amount. Magic needs to happen in April before I drown.
Still, I'm optimistic. : )

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...)  Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can

Year of the Dragon

  First off, Happy New Year to my blog readers! Not sure if I actually have blog readers but if I do- I wish you well! We are coming up on the Chinese Lunar New Year and it's Year of the Dragon! I jumped into the year at a crazy pace and really need to pace myself for ALL THE THINGS I'm trying to accomplish. First off it was very important to me to launch a couple things and explore some other platforms. Those being: Tiktok, Patreon and YouTube I'll go on to say that I actually did not want to do any of these. I repeat DID NOT WANT TO DO THESE.  *Didn't think I was worthy for people to pay me on Patreon and also thought creating perks for people monthly was a lot of work. So far ...IT IS A LOT OF WORK....but I am new and growing from the ground up and that's how it is. Growing pains! I'm working to learn and streamline this so it goes hand in hand with... *YouTube channel! Who actually does not enjoy seeing my weird face and voice in a video? Hi. ME. I really di
