In the mix!


"Safely Away"
Completed my latest and pretty much had it sold before the paint was dry. What a great feeling when the right person connects with your art and values it enough to WANT it in their home. Big thanks to my collector Emili who will be getting her lovely egrets this week. Dropped the painting off for proper photography yesterday and will be offering prints soon. 

Emili visited the studio to peep her new acquisition! 
It has been awhile since I've gotten to work on my personal paintings and it felt great- flowed naturally and reminded me...THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING DING DONG!
Its sooo easy to get lost in the business of business. Swept away in the hustle and strife....but that ain't life! So actively making time for my art on top of the "making rent" work I do-is necessary. And its nice being actively collected and sought after without a gallery even getting involved. If I could keep this up-how fantastic! 
I originally was invited to submit for a very lucrative thing (not tellin) and it pushed me to paint the egrets and get back to my work so I would have the work to submit. Excited I was noticed and personally invited but I'm not going to kill myself to make it happen because in a lot of ways Im already making it happen- on my terms and without a middle man. So I consider that a WIN but ...still not gonna drop the ball- producing is MAJOR right now.
Work is poppin' and thats great because I have a few expenditures coming up. One is NEW EYEBALLS.
Yes Im sad to say my eyesight of late is blurry and not the sharp vision it used to be. I notice it when Im painting and often times just have to stop work because my eyes feel overworked and really blurry.
New glasses are in my future. And paying off some debts.
So work, work, work...how we do! So any sales of prints, shoes, ART (first and foremost) will help get me some new eyes so I can keep painting and not be Morocco Mole!
Early morning doctors appointment to make sure my blood pressure is trending downward- self employment stress plus hormone wackness is for the birds!
Deep breathing and don't stress it- it's gotta be that way!
I'll let you guys know when you can pre-order prints this week 🌺 have a great Tuesday!

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 ...
