Countdown!

Countdown to the Fair is ON!  Doing up some fun little pop art style Fair themed pieces for a little break from cactus...wait-theres still cactus on these- AGGGHHHH CACTUS MANIA! 😂😜
My new square scanner came in and I need to practice with it and make sure my selling platform is all ready to go. Before State Fair is the Design District pop up-this coming Thursday!
Hope my friends can make it out-its part of the Gallery Walk so there will be lots of art to check out. I'll have my newest pieces there as well as some affordable prints. 

I did a 16" x 20" egret painting and will do another one today. Exhaustion grabbed me yesterday and I basically rested my brain and took it easy. Much needed-but now it's back to work.

The prints are being matted as we speak and I've got to sit down and get promo stuff for my booth squared away. So many little details to remember when doing something like this...signage, information, price tags, display stuff, hanging arrangements, change for cash transactions, mailing list, making the product....aaaghh! It'll be fine and fun when its underway. It will also be exhausting so Im keeping a steady pace but not killing myself.
It's 5 am on a Sunday and theres work to be done so away I go!
Have a great one friends!

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...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...
