Quick Cat

I spent my art time going to get my hair cut and Friday is always a very extreme work day. Best I had to offer. My hair looks great. I chopped it off into a bob and I am going to exercise and see if I can’t feel 38 again this summer. 38. Yep. 45 is feeling rough.

Wild Dragonfly

Ohio is getting warmer and there is something on the schedule every dang day. Work is in chaos mode. Haven’t had a chance to write much or really paint anything I am proud of but I have still continued to make art everyday. Mostly experimenting with some new tools lately. Yupo paper and QOR watercolors. I am ready for a little greatness.

Selling Guitar Parts

David drove to Kentucky to play music for a few days and make a few bucks. I walked Charlie to school and we sang songs. I wish that twenty minutes would have lasted all day.

All my energy went to work. I wasn’t a great mom or anything else but a guitar parts lady. End of the night Char and I put in a few minutes of art before bed. He drew circles and called it a tornado and I painted a little Dragonfly with his cheap watercolor set. Tomorrow I am going to be a great mom and hopefully dedicate a little more time to art. When morning comes… a little work while he sleeps on the office couch, breakfast downtown, soccer and maybe we will take a trip to see some art or plant some flowers in the garden.

Morning Wings

I have this consuming idea to make a selfie-mural in Buckeye Lake with some sort of wings. Tourist attraction people can visit and take a photo that gives them wings. I have a meeting scheduled today with a prospective place for it. Going to probably draw a ton of wings in the coming months. So many possibilites! Heron wings? Butterfly wings? Cardinal Wings? Bee wings? Dragonfly Wings? Epic-crazy, funky wings?
