Clearing the Clock

These pieces were sold and collected last week in my second round of posting originals up for grabs. I am really feeling the support right now- which is great because I'm on the cusp of lots of changes.

(Another one that was collected, I really enjoyed the color palette!)

I started the year totally swamped with other people's dreams and no time for my own. I'm happy to say that this week at least one of those time eaters has fallen away. Now I just have one more to wrestle with. It's good to constantly evaluate what is working for you and what isn't. If it eats up all my time, barely pays and I don't feel valued - it gets cut. If I feel at all like my time or feelings aren't considered- I have no space for it. Because I know I can paint for my lovely people and they can support me- I have the power to kick things to the curb that don't serve me.

(All SOLD and collected last week!)

So I'm moving forward and trying to focus on my business and art and leave other people's dreams to them as my own dreams need all my focus. This could be bumpy and rough but I have faith.

TEASER SHOT- UNFINISHED PIECES

These two that were unfinished at time of shooting- will be going up for grabs this morning. I had no time to do my email campaign but I'll be sending out something before they go up. I hope some lucky collectors grab them at MY SHOPIFY

And I look forward to catching up on my work and painting more for you soon! Thank you so much awesome supporters! ♥️ Don't forget your dreams are important too!

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...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie. I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...
