Back to Work!

Yesterday was definitely back to work-right on cue! There were the email inquiries and little spots on the calendar filling up. I was enjoying shifting back into it after a good rejuvenating break. Even though I worked through the holiday on home organization projects- it was still a relaxing project for ME.
Got to the post office and mailed off records and prints and then attended to some computer work that needed doing. Ordered new  matting supplies and scheduled a few things. Business as usual!
New year and the little business is rolling merrily on. Time to get new prints made, new small pieces worked on and new streamlined processes put into place. Also time for a new website.
One thing at a time!

Winter has finally showed up-albeit briefly it looks like- but I'm enjoying the bitter cold outside my windows and the fact that my Christmas decorations are still up. I've never been one to rush into and out of the holidays. Truthfully- Christmas day felt like a Spring day here and NOT like Christmas at all. I felt like it was all a pretend game we went along with.
Today could actually pass for a real Christmas feeling day. I'll leave my tree up a bit longer. 🎄
I'm halfway through my first book of the year. The Great Gatsby. Less TV and more reading this year- among other things.
Much busy-ness to attend to today. Hope everyones enjoying 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...

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...
