The final countdown! Dee do dee doo -dee dodeedahdoo!



The countdown is on - 6 days till the Fair and 5 days till setup!
My little stint at The Skyline Agency on Thursday was a good practice run in hauling inventory, set up and socializing. It also gave me insight into what I still need for my booth and to make things easier.

My space for the pop-up was small and all tabletop but I was able to get a lot of matted prints, framed prints and originals in one space along with my info and biz cards. The Fair will have gridwall so I can hang the paintings properly. 

Im thinking I may need to pop off more of these because one is on reserve ALREADY and one of the Big Texs has already been bought!

"Aerial cactus in Plumvision" sold to a collector!

Sold some pieces yesterday to some collector friends of mine! Much appreciated because...its almost rent time and I've been steadily sinking my funds into stuff for the FAIR 😮 so big thank you to my collectors for this end of month push!

"Abandonment 1" also sold to a collector friend!

I have a record commission to finish up then I can work on these brighties. I kinda already like where they are but I have to tinker with them because that is what I do with everything! 😜 
This week is going to be a little mad as I bustle to get my last pieces done for the Fair. I also have to do some major food prepping because as much as I love fair food- I cannot eat it every day. I'm still trying to drop pounds and get my blood pressure safely away from danger numbers. So Im about to clean out the fridge and go shopping and get to CHOPPING! 10am-7pm every day is no joke and I will not feel like cooking when I get home. I forsee lots of bento style boxes in my fridge/freezer and putting the crockpot to work for dinners. Menu planning-another thing on my to do list.

I had to revise my pricelist because someone who hates math forgot to factor in the percentage the Fair gets from my earnings. 😜 So a few bucks more than what was listed but not much and definitely still affordable. Oh gosh-so much to do but trying to remember this is my last period of rest before a really hard grind so-not killing myself and trying to have fun. ☺
Hope everyone has the best weekend!

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...

Down Time

work in progress, my first MUNNY It's been a whirlwind of cleaning, organizing and getting ready for the holidays. There are now small signs of Christmas here, a wreath on the door, the tiny tree is up and garland is flocking the doorway. I sent out some Christmas cards and bought the Christmas ham to share with my family. I guess I need to find a pie though, absolutely forgot about that. Some friends are coming over tonight so I'm making my studio presentable for whoever would like to see it....it's a dining room, don't expect some cool amazing room filled with cool amazing things. In fact almost all my art is NOT EVEN HERE. And actually the get together is being held next door at my friend and landlords place so I don't have to break my back trying to be the hostess with the mostest awesome house. I'm an artist with 3 cats and too much stuff, it's never gonna be pretty. But I digress, this blog is about that creepy looking head up there.... I need...

2026 Petty Edition

 I just missed blogging here. On Patreon it's always a focused point and hits people's mailboxes directly and I feel like I might be bothering them  This is more Dear Diary let me dump my brain out here.  It's 2026 and I am on point and focused on a goal. I'm a harpoon heading for my mark and I've already done the hard part of getting accepted into my goal- The Other Art Fair . If you know me you know I have put in the time, the hours, weeks, months and years. I've sacrificed everything and stripped away everything stoically to the barest essentials to be an artist.  Lost social scenes, Fair weather friends and missed out on experiences. Some of that is alright. Some of that is painful. I can definitely only keep friends who understand I am that weird friend you hardly see who is walking a monks path to my destination. I have a dream and purpose and lots of people do not. I am aware of my time here and my gift to use and some people think time is endless and...
