New Year's Day 2024

 Today is the first day of 2024 and I had many plans for the weekend, but no, I spent the weekend on the couch down with a cold. I'm finally getting over it, just in time to go back to work. I would love to have a whole week off but I am saving up my time for a good vacation. I would love to do a workshop this year somewhere. Also this year I would to do...

  • pray a lot more
  • make a difference
  • become more righteous
  • make more meaningful art
  • make more art period
  • sale art
  • write more
  • be more at peace and joyful
And create fearlessly.

So I'm praying for a good year. For myself. And for my family and friends. And for everyone. My prayers for everyone this year is for health, joy and happiness, and good fortune. God bless everyone in the coming year.

Obstacles

New work will be posted as soon as I can get the weather to cooporate with me. My house has bad lighting so I have to go outside to take good pictures. It's sunny today, but very cold and windy. Maybe I should buy a lamp with natural light bulbs. Costly, but good investment. I really would like to find a way to market my work into resellable items-prints, cups, cards, etc. Then I could put them on zazzle.com. I would also like to invest in a good printer. There is a site called CraftCount.com that list the top 100 sellers in all categories on etsy. I check out the top artists selling and realized that they all had one thing in common. Prints. All were selling prints of their work. Even though I like doing one of a kind paintings, prints could up my sales. I could leave corporate America sooner. Wish me luck!

  I just did these aceos. I have trouble selling my art, but on eBay I sell quite a few of these. I don't get much but I would like to keep doing these during my retirement.

The Wind

Number four on my Love List is the wind. It just popped in there without a conscious thought on my part. I do love the wind. I love to stand in my yard and experience an incoming storm, the building up of the wind until I'm forced to go in. I love the wind off the ocean and it's smell. I love the wind in Autumn and the smells of dry leaves and wood smoke. The wind is what causes movement in nature, causes the leaves to swirl around in a dance, the bare branches to talk, the tall grasses to whisper. The wind is what erodes stone, smooths it down, moves sand in the deserts, causes waves.
