The Shift

Beautiful prints on Canson papers courtesy of @renerodzart

Semi caught up on work projects so taking some time today to load up the Shopify shop. My sister in SF sent me some beautiful prints she had done for me from Dick Blick- they are on nice Canson papers and the colors are lush! My sister is also an artist and she's painting some lovely watercolors- you can check her out on Instagram @renerodzart

So a little admin time today and also I started a new piece I'm excited to jump in to.
It is actually based on the little print up there, "Las Grutas". Really enjoying exploring textures and different techniques of late. I feel like I had to go inward to next level myself..so no exhibits, no stressful deadlines and competitions. Just the pure art of creating/exploring and leaving the world to its own devices. I AM LOVING IT.
Since jumping off facebook I have found myself filling my time with not just more creating but more learning. I've been watching tutorials on resin pouring, yupo paper and alcohol inks and even how to make a proper sage bundle 🌞 I've been scouting out mushrooms and taking more Nature photos.
And not being a total recluse in the woods- I've been having quality hang outs with friends. Sharing a meal. Watching a band. Taking time out of the day for a small visit. Not feeling stressed or pressured to be "social". Meditating and focusing on the "now" has slowed life down and I am appreciating the shift.
I look at which direction the clouds are slowly moving, I notice the shift in season and weather. I tune myself in to the quality of the day.
Today I play like a child in the studio, do some work-work and go catch Ozzy with a dear friend this evening.
A small "cold front" has come in and it's my favorite....anticipation for real Fall weather soon. 🍁🍂
Enjoy the day!

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...

The calm during the storm

Fist Pumps! Cool rainy weather has hit Dallas. Just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and Oktoberfest...which I just happened to be at yesterday by happenstance. Oktoberfest that is, not the Fair. No, I did not have any bier. I did have a fun time walking around between biergartens and weiner dog races in the rain with good company though! I had to drop off my piece "FLOURISH" to a place in McKinney Tx called ORISONS who will be having a gallery walk in a few weeks. There were a lot of people down there for the festivities so they wanted the work to show off to all the traffic. It's been quite a week(end) and I just wanted to pop off a blog to say thanks to everyone who has been supporting by coming to the shows and making purchases and just high fiving me on facebook, etc. THANKS SO MUCH! I've been working my tail off in the studio- that's the part you don't see...but hopefully you can see it in my work when it's done. All the t...
