I'm starting 2023 by posting #MyRecordCollection , adding to this thread one each day. These are the albums that made me who I am (for better or worse). That should last most of the year! I'm also updating the art, using techniques I've learned and developed since I began this series in 2009.
My aunt used to have these blue marbles that I've always loved. You know how one thing, like a smell or a color can evoke memories and emotions? This shade of blue does it for me.
The #colorful streets of #SanJuanDelSur in #Nicaragua - this was from my last trip before leaving my cubicle job in 2009. Somewhere on that trip things just clicked. I dreaded going back and decided I was finding my way out. ❤️
A colorful pet portrait of a cute German shepherd dog named Kozmo in bright psychedelic rainbow colors! Acrylics on canvas, 2020. This is one of my all time absolute favorite paintings I have done.
2023 04 02 day 283 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off). I’m doing a one art-thing every day challenge to take me from wannabe artist to something around beginner artist. I’m very much still learning and am self-taught. This series chronicles this journey.
I saw an image of a black hole on the Curiosmos site, linked below, and thought I’d do my own take. Here it is!

All nature has a feeling: woods, fields, brooks
Are life eternal; and in silence they
Speak happiness beyond the reach of books;
There's nothing mortal in them; their decay
Is the green life of change; to pass away
And come again in blooms revivified.
Its birth was heaven, eternal is its stay,
And with the sun and moon shall still abide
Beneath their day and night and heaven wide.
As an artist, you can't be too sensitive since it is not an easy business to be in. But at times things do get to me. I have jumped through the hoops since I was born. It would be nice to stop jumping and simply be. It might have been easier to comply with what society wanted, but that is just not me. This female is NOT going down without a fight. #ArtistLife#Art#ArtMatters#HumanRights
