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.

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...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...

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...
