12 Days

"Coccinelidae" acrylic/krylon/latex on canvas 20" x 30"

This week I made it a point to PAINT LIKE CRAZY while I felt good and also pushed away the little table I set beside my bed when I'm ill. There's something freeing about doing that. Clearing away the pill bottles, putting the crackers back in the kitchen and removing all traces of being an invalid. It's a mental thing, it helps a lot. Granted in about 12 days that table will be back- for now I can act like a normal girl. I even made myself get out of the house, put on nice clothes and makeup and go see some art shows. I have to fully enjoy these GOOD days as best as I can. Saw lots of friends this weekend and that was great and much needed.
Today it's back to the grindstone, another day of feeling well means another day of work, work, work. I am going to be in Kettles Jubilee show on April 18 . Djing Texas Theater on April 20. Planning on the week of the 25th to be the "bad week" and can't plan beyond that right now. The bad week will decide a lot on what will happen next in terms of medical plans, surgery, etc. I'm in limbo right now but it is what it is. In the meantime I paint like crazy. Luckily, I love painting like crazy. Enjoy the weekend and your health!

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 ...
