Put your foot on that GAS PEDAL

Mice are nice!

Getting into the middle of May and hoping time starts going slow from here on out. I have a mountain of work to do and the show just keeps inching closer.
I took a break of sorts over the weekend. I just finished two big paintings back to back and needed some brain space before I leapt on another 4ft x 5 ft collaboration piece with SONER.
So far I've got 3 new personal works done and 1 colab. Time is ticking but I'm liking the way the show is looking so far. Fantastical!
Just wrapped up the Tunnelvisions event and auction, my giant Panda went for....
....$160!
Someone got an amazing deal, I hope they realize that.
And with that Im formally ending all other events for the summer and focusing solely on this show for Kirk Hopper Gallery and nothing else so thanks but no thanks to any other showing, event, charity donation thingamajig, etc etc.
If you don't focus you get nowhere.
Today I tackle another collaboration piece, it's interesting having to work against a dark background and bounce my color palette against neon green. Definitely shaking up the color  palette here, which is good.
OK, full day in the Studio and doing some mileage. I'm  happy to report my health is in the feeling great zone again. I've ben seeing the pounds drop, the biceps get firmer and some ab muscles forming! I even fit back into one of my favorite summer dresses
Vintage Hawaiian dress with sailor bow collar, Tiki Tiki time!
Exercising every day has kept me on my game and in good spirits. I remember bad health last year, I am not going back there! My time to shine!
I am patiently awaiting the next issue of Studio Visit Magazine to come out and check out my upcoming feature. Exciting! 
And last but not least, here's a reminder of where you can see my work around Dallas right now
Tunnelvisions exhibit, Kettle Gallery thru May 25




ELLA exhibit at the Latino Cultural Center, thru June 23

So even if you won't be able to see this little hermit you'll still be able to see my work 
Have fun out there!

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...

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...
