Let's Leap!

Happy Leap Day! My painting "Night and Day" seemed appropriate for the theme of leaping and leaping is just what I'm doing . I got the message asking for all my promo stuff for my solo art show and the fire has been lit. Its time to do some hardcore painting and making time in my busy work schedule for...even more painting.
This popped up on my Facebook memories and it was so cosmic! I guess in 2016 I was also prepping for something-but can't remember what. I guess the theme of my life is painting and keep painting. And speaking of painting...this painting sold yesterday and will be going to a fabulous collector. It was a timely sale because RENT time...my favorite time...the time where alllll the coins I've worked so hard for all month get deposited into my landlords bank account and not mine! Lol! We are working on getting out of this pattern and you know how?
Painting. Painting. Painting.
Duh!

(Sold! "Bite Back")

So yeah- about to hermit HARD so if you wanna see me in real-life please come out to Brizo tonight. I'll be DJing after the Thaddeus Ford Jazz band and am psyched to play some tunes I think are delicious and you may not have heard yet as well as some toe tappin classics. It will be a fun evening and the music will be on point!

Up early to paint, preview my playlist and put my house back together. Happy Saturday friends! Leap it up!

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...)  Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can

Year of the Dragon

  First off, Happy New Year to my blog readers! Not sure if I actually have blog readers but if I do- I wish you well! We are coming up on the Chinese Lunar New Year and it's Year of the Dragon! I jumped into the year at a crazy pace and really need to pace myself for ALL THE THINGS I'm trying to accomplish. First off it was very important to me to launch a couple things and explore some other platforms. Those being: Tiktok, Patreon and YouTube I'll go on to say that I actually did not want to do any of these. I repeat DID NOT WANT TO DO THESE.  *Didn't think I was worthy for people to pay me on Patreon and also thought creating perks for people monthly was a lot of work. So far ...IT IS A LOT OF WORK....but I am new and growing from the ground up and that's how it is. Growing pains! I'm working to learn and streamline this so it goes hand in hand with... *YouTube channel! Who actually does not enjoy seeing my weird face and voice in a video? Hi. ME. I really di
