September

 

(detail from "Hide and Seek")
Birthday month started off beautifully with lots of friends and family wishing me happy birthday and some even making time to do some social distance stuff. So appreciated and needed. Now I'm good on people for awhile 😂 and need to cocoon in hermitude and work, work, work! Finished another painting for the Texas Women's show at Western Gallery (show is virtual and opens online Oct 2) I'll be posting more about it as we get nearer.

Birthday cakes were plentiful this year...I usually have to buy myself a slice from somewhere and no one ever just gives me a cake. This year there were TWO 🤤

 



My sweet thoughtful friend and co-worker brought me some flowers ♥️🥰 Feeling so loved!



My mom had cake and ice cream waiting for me and we had a nice visit. So many people cannot see their family right now so believe me this was the real treat this year and yes I feel so lucky I was able to.

This is 44. I'm feeling healthy, strong and ready to work harder than ever and achieve my goals. I feel like a lot of balance is coming into my life as I learn to let go of things that don't serve me and work at being better. Right now my Endo is nowhere to be seen and I can focus on strengthening and healing my body. Art is flowing again and yeah I'm kinda happy despite the Pandemic stuff.
Sending you all good health vibes and happy smiles ♥️

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...
