Up Down Turn Around Please Don't Let Me Hit The Ground

"Path of Nurturing" has just been SOLD AND COLLECTED

Wonderful and smart people are taking me up on my sweet offer to do PAYMENT PLANS so you can collect art. Just sold this large canvas to a collector who will have three of my pieces now and her home is beautiful, this painting will love it's new home! : )
This blog was almost entitled YEAR OF THE SNAKE SSSSSSSUCKSSSSSSS but it sounded really negative and I have nothing against little snakes. They can't help it if my world is being turned upside down and inside out in every which way possible. Some of the stuff I can't go into as it's a delicate matter but let's just say where I am is about to physically change soon and I can elaborate more when things settle however they get settled. I will say it is an absolute shock and kick to the balls if I had any. That being said I've had time to reflect on the weird disappointing actions of another and decided....that's life and that's humans for ya. Change is the one constant in this world and I'm definitely getting a spoonful of that shoved in my mouth. C'est la vie as the French say. Do they say that? I have no idea.
But onward to the positive stuff, I am refusing to let another persons negative actions make me lose focus in a crucial point in time for me. CRUNCH TIME for the gallery showing at WAAS. I have mere weeks to get everything done and a few more canvases to go. Just polished off some work on a dyptych piece that is a collaboration between me and an artist about town who is making waves. Pretty thrilled with how it's coming together and will be debuting this joint work at WAAS Gallery next month. This thing measures a sweet 8 feet by 4 feet! So fun working large again!
All the pieces have been under wraps and I'm shooting for at least 15 works in the show so it's busy time in the hive with no wiggle room for fun right now. 
Last week was insane with me getting a huge wake up call - my darling little firstborn kitty Bell Cat (aka Troll Cat) almost died and had to be rushed to emergency hospital where the vet shook his head at us and said "this is probably not going to turn out well". Well, being the little magical beast she is- a true little warrior- she pulled through and is now back to her rightful position running the house. She has diabetes though and learning to care for her properly has been confusing, scary and exhausting. Giving a cat injections is stressful. :(
Needless to say this has all been very expensive for the girl without much of an income who is dealing with her own health ailments. So selling that painting above has been a true blessing. Have I caught you up on the craziness that is my life? I think so. Hopefully in the next blog I can spill more interesting secrets for you to snicker at over your morning coffee. Until then- appreciate what you have!

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
