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.

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
