Here’s a sneak peek of a commission I’m doing of Seaside, Florida. It’s been fun working on this. And it’s been overall a productive day! I got to mail stuff to collectors, bought a few odds and ends for tomorrow’s party, and received a nice little surprise: A few months ago I ordered a fruitContinue reading “Seaside”

The weather turned cold again and yesterday’s momentum eluded me. I had big plans to accomplish a lot, but the day was frittered away on small or bigger annoyances. I bought the ticket to Paris I’d booked yesterday, but something weird happened to my reservation so I had to spend nearly two hours on theContinue reading “Dogs at Weddings”

Today I had a revelation: It was about 4pm and I was sitting in the gallery drawing, when I realized that in my previous life around that time on a Tuesday I’d be stuck in traffic driving back from Beaumont on I-10 after having taught three classes. How cool that my new job involves sittingContinue reading “Carousel Bunny”

Today I had a breakthrough in my art, and also in my journey of self-acceptance as a Taurus. I decided that I simply must use a lot of gold. One of the paintings (not shown here) is actually completely covered in it! It’s been overall a very good day. Warm and sunny, which always putsContinue reading “Gold”

Highlight of the day: seeing my friend Lindsay Burck’s paintings hanging in the Chrysalis during the Initiation of the new Escapists today! Among them is a piece called Queen Bey, and it reminded me of so many things, including how I need more Beyoncé in my life. So this evening I decided I needed toContinue reading “The Light Returns”

Today I continued working on the abstract pieces I’m preparing for my February 1st show, which honors Imbolc, the return of the light. I am so ready for spring, y’all! There was, luckily, some sunshine today, but overall I don’t enjoy this dark and gloomy time of year, and don’t enjoy the cold. Still, daysContinue reading “Fun New Things”

Here’s a portrait of me trying to achieve balance in my busy life as an artist, writer, and entrepreneur. Today this felt a bit like a struggle, although I was in a good mood, and had a lot of fun. I awoke to my daffodils standing open and joyous on the table in the gallery,Continue reading “Balance”

I saw the daffodils at Trader Joe’s as I was buying snacks for my book release party! I love daffodils and I figured my party needed flowers, among other things. And I did too. After all, today I successfully ran payroll, and so I’m one step closer to being Employee of the Month. Tomorrow IContinue reading “Buy Yourself Flowers”

Today I finally did what I’d been meaning to do for a while: I finished reading the 1900 part of my Galveston ghost story and, freshly reacquainted with the characters and their woes, I sat down and wrote a little over a thousand words! I’m still worried about loose ends, still worried about committing someContinue reading “Constricted”

Still haunted by the Blood Moon Eclipse, I was slow today. I decided to immerse myself into a world I had nearly forgotten, that of my Galveston ghost story. I started rereading the manuscript, trying to get reacquainted with its atmosphere and its details. Now that Lone Wolf is published, it’s time to reconnect withContinue reading “Ghost Story Continues”
