I have found a love in making things for people's birthdays. 

33

I want to set goals for myself this year but I don't want to over do it. It's great to be on a steady hustle but it is possible to set your self up for failures. I still like to swing for the fences either way but I'm trying to nicer to myself this year. I know I will not be able to do 200 things at once but if I try I can do a few at least with a new found drive. Quality is my main focus this year.

I want to be better thing year. So I grabbed a bunch of new acrylics. It is honestly feeling really good to be back in my element. I ran for so long I forgot what it was like to swim.  

I really want to illustrate this book this year. I just need to stop everything else in doing and just storyboard everything.

I feel really good right now i just finished my newest painting. I'm not really naming them at this point. I don't need them to have a name. She is this beautiful person i created with great red hair. I love how it flows. It feels honest and strong and wavy. I know some people will not love the arms but I don't make art anymore for other people. I hope people love it but I feel like I need to love it more. It is my heart and my heart needs the love. It is what I will one day leave to the world...love and paint baby ..love and paint.

    I took a break for a week. But now I'm back. Art is love and I love art. I hope by sharing these videos brings us closer to my creativity.

her and him

Some one told me they "loved my new series". I wasn't sure what to say other then "thanks". I'm just painting. If it changes from one to the other it's that day. I'm glad for the complement but I heard from that, "but I hated that other ones you have been doing." I know that's just me. It's that voice in my head trying to make me act reactionary rather then just being happy one one likes what I last made.

Here in that same vain is more work I just did. I do really love it.

sunday

It has been a full week.

I sold two paintings to two wonderful people. I never thought I would sell those. I wasn't sure they were as good to other people as they were to me. I was wrong. I can honestly say I enjoy being wrong. There is so much more to learn from being wrong.

I'm now working on a piece in the same vein as the two I sold. I feel really good about this one. It feels strong and beautiful to me.
