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...

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...
