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!

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 ...
