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!

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...

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...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...
