2020 and Day One

I like the word ABUNDANCE so I'm going to make that the theme as we coast into the New Year. I'm also gravitating towards the word PRODUCTIVITY and letting that guide my workflow. This year will definitely be more productivity to increase abundance and less wasting time on social media. So to lure abundance my way I created a delicious little charcuterie spread for my New Years Eve festivities last night and settled into coziness watching Twilight Zone, sleeping and waking up in time to toast the New Year with some sparkling Martinellis cider. Yeah, I felt fancy and pampered.
I still have plenty of charcuterie to snack on today as I paint-which is how Im starting the New Year! Woohoo! 

Today I'm dumping all photos off my phone so I can do longer videos and also getting into the swing with my gopro. The time Im working on editing short videos is time Im not horsing around on Facebook. 🐎 This is the year I start actively building my Youtube channel. I'm also going to sort out my Patreon and see if I can get some art support that way. I've been passively hoping for my people to buy art but some of them already have and some of them never will... so its time to hunt new collectors. New people who have never seen my work and would like to collect. I'll be opening up slots for commission work soon but want to complete this painting first and line up my ducks. 
Looking forward to a low key and productive day and wishing you all a healthy and prosperous start to the New Year! Let's all be more abundant!

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...

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...
