Push to learn something new

I wrote quite a few words today. Not enough to catch me up for a slow week, but very nearly. Maybe after my blog, I’ll see if I can’t finish what’s needed. We’ll see. I also worked painting the flower today for my sun picture. I’m not sure if I’m done with it or if … Continue reading Push to learn something new

That’s it!

My last show for this year is done and Jerome Music Boosters’ Holiday Gift and Craft show is in the bag. Highlight of my day was when two ladies were standing at the booth next to mine looking at my neighbor’s wares while I was taking to a father and daughter about a variety of … Continue reading That’s it!

Show tomorrow

I’m all set up for the Jerome Music Booster Holiday and Gift Show going on tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Jerome High School. The space painting I’d been working on is now all wired and hung, ready to go to someone’s home. Now, I’m tired. It’s been a long, full day of … Continue reading Show tomorrow

Belief and connection

I wondering tonight what the late Diana Wynne Jones would tell me if she were here and I asked her a question that has been on my mind. I’ve been wrestling with a decision and I’d love to know what her opinion about it would be. But I know that all things are connected and … Continue reading Belief and connection

Sitting

I feel like I’ve been sitting all day. Of course, I pretty much have been. I’ve had 15 hours of work, meetings, CPE, and meals. I should have stood while I ate, at least once today. Fortunately, I do get up and walk around frequently on breaks, so it’s not like I didn’t move at … Continue reading Sitting

90 words

I must write. That’s where I’m at tonight. I haven’t gotten any words done today. Sadly, I broke my 6 week streak of getting more than 5,000 words per week done by a mere 90 words. It just didn’t happen last week and that kind of annoys me. 90 words is like 5 more minutes … Continue reading 90 words

New flower underpainting

Well, here’s one I’m going to have to backdate. I didn’t get off work until after midnight, and I’ve been busy all day, so no blog got written earlier. Oh well. I’ll take the backdate this time to keep my streak. I think the picture of Prancer at the top of my post pretty much … Continue reading New flower underpainting

Rising moon

Picture from yesterday of my new painting: I put a new layer on today. It doesn’t look as rough now. In fact, it’s quite well blended. I might dry brush some of the roughness back into it this next week. I also continued working on the flower painting. Pictures on that one later. I got … Continue reading Rising moon

Painting, audio, and websites

I painted in the initial layer for the sun painting today. I also started another painting. It will be similar but different. Already, the underpainting is pretty exciting. I binge watched a short show today while I was painting. Shh, we won’t tell anyone, right? Also did some audio editing with my new setup. Yeah, … Continue reading Painting, audio, and websites

Cooking and cleaning

Clouds were flying over the moon again last night, this time slower and their rainbow ring much wider. It didn’t make the moon look like it was soaring through the sky. Another idea expanded the income statement theory from yesterday. It really explains how we can feel such gains and losses when all is truly … Continue reading Cooking and cleaning
