Reason number 234083409845098340829348093890845098 that I am an artist..

“I received painting today and cried. It says what I could not. Bless you.“

Three simple sentences had me bawling like a baby.
My heart swelled so big, and opened so w i d e.
I thought it might explode.
Thank you.

I found seashells by the lake shore.. in Kansas.

Listening to: Riceboy Sleeps
I recommend listening in a dark room with a purring kitty on your chest.
Lean back, and savor the moment.
All we truly have is here and now.

Listening to Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago 

Flume

I am my mother’s only one
It’s enough
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she’s the moon

I am my mother on the wall
With us all I move in water,
shore to shore
Nothing’s more

Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leery loons
Leaving rope burns, reddish ruse

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she’s the moon

If you’re coming from Leslie’s blog, hello and welcome. Please leave a comment, so I can visit you, also.
If you’re visiting from PPF, things are going to be a little different on my blog for the next few weeks. I’m doing 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. You may remember that back in September, I did this challenge, and my theme was photo booth paintings This time around, I don’t have a theme. I want to be free to choose what I want to do in the moment. I’m going to be spontaneous! It might be an art journal page, a large painting, a collage painting, an abstract painting or a small 4×4 inch painting. It might be a serious portrait or a raw, primitive one. I may decide to paint like a child, which is harder than it sounds. Who knows what I’ll be posting? Check back each day to see. 🙂 If you click on my banner, ^ up there, you can scroll down and see posts from the entire week.

Happy New Year!

I was going to do a year in review blog, but meh. I painted too much in 2013. There’s no way I want to go back, and collect all the photos. I painted 72 paintings in October alone!! It would take me forever to do a post including the entire year. What I’m going to do instead is link to some my favorite finds of 2013. That will be more fun, huh?
I’m not an affiliate of any of the products. I just like them.
Favorite new artists I found:  Lita Cabellut, Goxwa, Tom Birkner, Alex Kanevsky, France Jodoin
Favorite new acrylic paint I’ve been using: Soho Urban Artist Quality Paint – I like it better than Golden. It’s creamy, reminds me a lot of oil paint, has rich pigment, and it’s less expensive than Golden.
Favorite brush cleaner: Murphy’s Oil Soap..I leave hardened brushes soaking in it for a few days. Makes them soft and usable again, almost like magic.
Favorite tv show: Breaking Bad I’m a sucker for bad boys, what can I say?
Favorite songs: I Used to Know How to Walk on Water by Joseph Arthur, and The Dreamers by Josh Woodward
Favorite book I read: Stones from the River by Ursula Hegi, and Heading Out to Wonderful by Robert Goolrick
Favorite movies I watched: Fish Tank, Hello Lonesome, Great Expectations, Gonzo, The Future, Rid of Me, and Shameless..the UK version, which isn’t a movie, but I’m putting it on my list anyway.
Favorite body lotion: Coconut Vanilla
Favorite makeup: L’Oréal

I welcome 2014 with open arms. I hope it’s good to all of us.

Holy Cow!! I painted 72 paintings in October!!

16 6x6s 2 8x8s 25 8x10s + 9x12s 1 10×10 1 12×12 1 16×20

Whew! This post took forever. I’m going to have a better system for November, so I’m not rummaging all over my computer for photos. I think the grand total is 72 paintings for October. !!! Why I thought I wasn’t painting enough is beyond me. I knew I completely depleted my stash of canvas, but I didn’t think much of it. Being my own boss, I always have trouble knowing when enough is enough. It’s going to take me the entire month of November to get these listed on Etsy. Good thing I’m going back to one painting a day, huh? lol

It’s time to tally up the paintings for the month of October. I’m thinking I might do a video this time around, but I don’t know if that will be too boring. We’ll see..maybe just another end of the month collage?Happy Halloween! Be safe. Yes, Halloween excites me. That whole time of year, autumn, I find exhilarating. A passionate season. The others are so bland. In the fall, you see opportunities for change. Real change. Possibilities present themselves. None of the renewal and redemption cliches of spring. No. Something darker and more primal and more important than that. ~Alice LaPlante
