Calm in the middle of a storm

Just a shortie blog to update... This piece is almost complete! I'm nearing the end of it and need to shoot it, go get it scanned and ready for prints and send photos to gallery for inventory. But first I need to finish it 😂

Today it's back to worky work. I had to do a freelance job yesterday and wasn't able to paint much and now back to work and won't be able to paint much. There's never enough time.

I've missed one workout and am having to redo my schedule this week to slide it in but I'm back to it today. My body needed me to rest and chill as it took care of some things and I needed less Cortisol in my body so I let it rest, sleep, skip a workout and took two days off walking. Now it's back to salads and the grind. Respect Rest, it's actually more beneficial than the workout sometimes.

Super busy in the beehive with work and art and minding my life. Facebook took my Notes feature away so all my blogging will be here. Yes, I even tried to get into Notes on my laptop and it was a no go. Just further proof FB has slid even further down the hill in being useful for me. It's current usefulness seems to be if you're really bored and want to read about people yelling at their TV screen as they watch seemingly painful things and try to decipher what the f they are talking about and why they don't turn it off and go do something productive. But that's just me. Currently so over the stupidity of Facebook I can barely stand it. So yeah..no NOTES and glad about it because I don't need to create more content for that crap platform.

Downloading all my current content and wiping it out would be ideal.

Ready for a busy day. Definitely ready for meditation. There's a hurricane on the periphery and I'm feeling like I need to be the calm in the middle of a storm today.

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
