Finding the Earth beneath my feet again

"Release" acrylic/krylon on canvas  12"x36"
(reserved/sale pending)

Just finished a new long format piece and started on it's brother -which I hope to finish today. I actually took this one outside for a bit to work on it. I have a very hard time staying indoors when then weather is as beautiful as it's been lately. It's also been rather windy and not really conducive to painting with quick drying acrylics out there so I wasn't able to stick it out too long. But it was nice to get a taste of what the coming days will bring and allow me to stake out the best spot for my outdoor studio by judging where the sun is at what times of the day and where the shade is, etc, etc.
Tonight I finally get to see the show up at LuminArte since I missed the opening. It's really weird missing an art opening- YOUR art opening. It feels like you were waiting for a birthday party that never happened. So I'm super excited I get a do over. :) If anyone is game, missed the show and want to check it out- LuminArte Gallery from 6:30-8:30. Tonight!
No caffeine has brought with it HEADACHES, DIZZINESS and a general feeling of disorientation. Reading up on how to shrink my ovarian cyst also means no caffeine, no chocolate, no refined sugars, no unbleached wheat products, NO STRESS, no red meats, no alcohol,  artificial sweeteners, small amounts of dairy and no processed foods - very bad for you... but did you read what I said in there? NO CHOCOLATE?!?!??! Thats a big ol' clock on the chin. BAM! Kill me. I basically have to eat like a little animal that lives outside and isn't allowed in your refrigerator.
Maybe when the cyst is gone I can have some chocolate. :(
Trying to focus on the positive and I do love fruits, which I can have. :)
The week looks busy with me enrolling in a healthcare program, getting my followups done and also getting some immunizations out of the way so I can do a mural job at Dallas Children's Medical soon. And painting. Painting. Painting. Time to turn the crank and make the canvases flow...
Have a lovely Sunday friends, thanks for keeping up with me!

    Hope you feel better! On the up side, it sounds like a great way to detox the body (except for the bummer no chocolate part). Have you tried fresh juicing? It's a great natural high.

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...

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 ...

Top 10 Reasons

  Have you seen Labyrinth? The scene where she finally realizes she had the power all along and that actually Gareth did not ...that's powerful stuff. My favorite part....aside from every scene with David Bowie prancing about in too tight leggings. 😁 My digital vacation got interrupted yesterday. I've still been checking my messages in Messenger because HI IM AN ART BUSINESS AND THAT DONT STOP. I was alerted that the scammer had hit up a mutual friend and because I was trying to be Art Spiderman I went swinging back online to see what was going on. Unfortunately the scammer got someone and I had to make another PSA about it to help my peeps understand what was going on. Barring that though... it's up to YOU to be SMART PROACTIVE RESEARCHING humanoids. I can't save you.  Also my brief pop into fakebook gave me enough fodder to want to keep my vacation going. Here's what I was met with on messenger and on my page upon landing:  1. People pushing politics/celebrities ...
