Some of these I really hate to sell, like this one. I haven’t felt this way about my art in a long time or maybe ever. I LOVE what I’ve been creating these days. I think that’s a good thing, mostly, except when I want to keep them all for myself. I’ve got several that I’ve been holding off posting because they’re hanging on my walls, and I don’t want to take them down if they sell. I keep imagining how that will make me feel, and I can’t bring myself to list them yet. That’s never happened before..usually a painting goes straight from my easel to my shop and blog without giving it a second thought.

I’m always scouring the web. These are my new and not so new findings..
1. Listening to: Wichita
3. Guacamole recipe
5. I’m sure you’ve heard of Ello by now..could this be the end of FB? That would make me pretty happy. 🙂 I’m not a fan of FB for sooo many reasons. I’m only there because everyone I know is there. No ads on Ello is pretty tempting. I’m ready whenever you are..just biding my time, waiting for my invite.

My latest obsession

My latest obsession is guacamole and tortilla chips. I have lived my entire life without knowing how tasty avocados are. How did that happen? Greg has eaten them for years, but I never tried them more than once or twice until about 6 months ago when I started making cabbage salad with them. Cabbage salad is basically cabbage, avocados, fresh pineapple, lemon juice, minced onion, and celery salt. Mash the avocados, add some lemon juice. Chop up the pineapple, and cabbage. Mix it all together. Sooo good. I eat it about 4 to 5 times a week. I’m trying not to get as obsessed with the guacamole and chips, but it’s difficult.
Happiness is
Like candy apples

I couldn’t get a really good image with my camera. I picked the best photos, but I’m not happy with them. In reality, the flowers look like candy apples you get at the county fair. I have to resist breaking off a piece, and eating it. Really pretty red.
You also can’t feel the texture through the camera lens. The best I can explain it to you is it feels like soft glass. I don’t believe I’ve ever felt glass that is soft before, and you probably haven’t either, so you’re just gonna have to trust me on this, okay? The flowers look like candy apples, and feel like soft glass. It is best viewed in person with your own eyes.

Why I want to keep going after 30 paintings in 30 days..
Make your mistakes, take your chances, look silly, but keep on going. Don’t freeze up.
Thomas Wolfe
I’ve decided that painting every day and making myself blog is easier than getting artist block, and freezing up. Waaay easier. I’ve gone through artist block a few times, and it’s rough. I’m worse than a bear to live with. Grrrr!! It makes you feel like you’re worthless, washed up, a has been, and you’ll never paint again. The days are dark, and all you do is sit around having a pity party for yourself. I HATE when it happens. I’d do anything to prevent it from happening again, and I’m convinced the way to avoid artist block is to keep pushing on through every single day.
Sure there were days last month when I didn’t want to paint, and certainly didn’t want to blog, but I did it anyway. Doing something even if you don’t feel like it is not only the grownup thing to do, but it makes you keeping stepping ahead, one foot in front of the other. If you keep moving forward, no matter the speed, even if it’s just a tiny painting and a two sentence blog post, at least you’re doing it. You’re not sitting there hating on yourself, right? You’re not stuck in a rut. You can’t beat yourself up because you tried. So, that’s why I’m gonna keep pushing on through every day.
