Don't Waste Your Life

                    "Rejected Seed #3"
The week wasn't a total wash and I celebrate every little victory right now. Sold this little piece to a dear friend and fellow artist Elva Robinson. It's one of the last little abstracts in this style I had left.

Artist: Elva Robinson
Elva does vivid digital art among other things and I have one of her Vida scarves and wear it almost exclusively- I love it that much ☺ Please check her art out at https://robinsongart.com/
I'm so grateful for my supportive artist community that helps one of their own. Being injured and not able to work at peak capacity and speed- makes for a hard month. I've been so thankful for every little sale from my Shopify.
I also had a kimono order from another dear friend ❤
Print on Demand can be a lifesaver. It frees me up to continue making my art while my fans and customers can order what they like on products that are useful to them- and still support me. 
So Im still in LIGHT ACTION MODE and working from bed- I can walk and stand and do therapy and all that good stuff. I just have to be super careful right now about my movements. Even just trying to get out of bed quickly or the wrong way creates a problem.
I am super thankful that my work right now is mainly digital and Im able to do it from the comfort of my bed.
Life could be worse. ☺
Day 2 of Facebook hiatus- trying to change habits and thinking. Some things and situations just do not need to concern me...and I felt myself thinking about them, checking on them and dwelling.
Not my concern. It's easy to get sucked into other peoples stuff when you're a bit of an empath, helper. You may over-care and not receive the same care or thought which can lead to resentful feelings. I'm really done with resentful feelings and will care respectively from a distance while letting it be.

I've been delving back into my "zen" and meditation. This really resounded with me. "Don't waste your life"
I think we spend a lot of time in our heads,wasting life...stuck on things that don't need us anymore,replaying things for no reason and creating scenarios that never happened. So it's a good reminder as I head into new habits- Don't waste your life
And with that-away we go!
Enjoy the weekend and if youre looking for art,artgoods and a way to help your hurt friend my Shopify has a lot of options 🌞

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...

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...

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...
