Always making
I have never had a green thumb really ever and yet my studio has kept these babies alive. I know it’s a cactus but I’m back at not killing them from neglect.
I just feel they are beautiful.
that is all.
Do you have studio plants? What are they? How old are they?
Let the sun in and greet her with a hot cocoa.
I’m finding it important to do little rituals in the mornings. They just start everything right.
The cats do it, the dog does it, why not me?
I enjoy the chaos of creativity but maybe I’m out growing that lost feeling? I think so.
meet me in the sleeping world next to the tire swing.
I think I finally know what to illustrate in my book. Not sure what to write yet but it’s progress. 
it came to me while trueing a wheel at the shop.
I haven’t given up on my only painting what I photograph myself but I’m no longer against using visual aids.

Resting in the night sky covered in paint.
2 but not three in one.
Intrepid travelings of a painter mind wrapped tight like cough drops in tins.
As one lays waste to the imaginary making thins real on the page.
an end zone of making.

So my boy is having a stomach problem and we are hanging out at the vet. Pray to your demons he is going to be fine. 
We now have two kittens to add to our family of Alec, Mon the dog and me.
The two baby cats are not yet friends. Time will fix that.
Mon loves everyone. Mochi and Miles are at war.
Mochi loves Mon.
In the myst of all these things i have been painting but not close to as much as I would love to. So I have to find my focus again and be the best I can.
Truth be told, I’m running on empty. I found so much in making sure everyone is ok that I stopped “mind painting.” I have spent so much of my time making a gallery of unmade paintings inside my head most of my life and now ..little bits jump out. Maybe my style wants to evolve again? I don’t know how it will or could but it is a beast that does whatever it wants.
My big hope is to reach my madness again before I crack.
Next time Galeras,
