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. : )

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 ...
