I’M BACK!

Hey Guys!

I’m putting WAY more time into my career lately.  Thankfully I’ve had less distractions and spending hours to myself (agreeably everyone has) so I’ve taken this time to be as productive as possible. It’s really such an interesting time because we’re forced to be secluded, which forces us to self-reflect. I just turned 34, and it feels great. I already know it’s going to be a weird age. I’m old enough to know better, but I’m young enough to not know everything. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of painting at home working on commissions and non-commissions. My dad gave me a guitar for Christmas so I’ve been learning how to play..like actually learning. I’ve been watching Youtube beginner videos, practicing new chords, and got a few songs down – I get to hang out and play with my dad since he’s a beast on the guitar! I’ve been reading a lot more too. Books on how to release negativity from your life. Books on how to live as a professional artist. Classic books. I’m a happier person when I’m a regular reader.  Also, I’ve been dabbling with photography all summer! I’ll create a post just of the film I’ve developed. I’m an amateur but I’m not bad!

I’ve been steady with work – my dog is happy and healthy. Lots of hikes and exercise is part of my day.  Health is a big thing I want to keep up on. I’ve been selling a lot of tie-dye sweatshirts for people which is cool! My hands are dyed every color and my nails are dry from making so many! It’s actually pretty fun to see how each piece comes out..they are all one of kind. I’ve been doing this for over 2 years now, and I’m finally getting the hang of it!

I have lots of ideas brewing and figuring out what direction I want to go in with my artwork. I’m still winging through life on my own, not too sure of what I’m doing.. but I think I’m going down the right, positive direction. I feel excited and motivated more than ever because nothing is holding me back right now. All I have to worry about is not creating excuses to get where I deserve to be.

Enjoy my photobomb of random pics of me, nature, my dog, and work:
