March!

I am on the formal invite! Jumping up and down!

If you read my last sad post you might be thinking at this point I'm bipolar or something. Sad. Jumping up and Down. HA HA! Yeah, maybe....
It's a new month and I'm watching the calendar days shrink down and my future art shows getting closer. I now have a full 4 months until my show at WAAS and about 3 until Baylor. You might think that's PLENTY OF TIME for an artist to make paintings but I'd have to kick you in the shins because that's not true.
In order to pay rent and bills you have to sell works or go to work. This will take time away from you getting work done for your shows. So in a nutshell it's hustle time, time to dance around the bullets being shot at my feet and get that paintbrush moving a little faster. There's a prospective mural project I've been invited to work on which is $$ I NEED to keep my lights on and also a freelance graphic design gig is surfacing I should take as well. Hmmmm....I'm just gonna have to learn how to work on 4 hours of sleep and put myself into overdrive for awhile. But I'll chew on that when it comes. For now- wine and party time!
You're invited to LuminArte Gallery next Saturday March 9  from 7-9pm! I'll have new works on exhibit and am excited to be part of this international lineup! Wine and sangria tasting and also live music. These little outings will be the rare glimpses of your artist hermit friend most likely so come say hi!

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 ...
