Revenue stream goals for 2024: (1) The creation of 12 pastel still life’s. Below is one example of my work so far. The plan is to create and pick from the best when 12 or more are completed. (2) other revenue stream goals will be paintings in one or more of the following mediums: oil, watercolor or gouache. It’s been a while as my focus has been on Shibui Found Image Art. A pivot is a good thing as I write about Shibui. I am loving Paul Rembrandt pastels. The colors are amazing.

It’s been since 1994 that I have had fun with the pastels. I began Shibui 2011. A lot happened after that. I have my new home in my cottage studio and just now feel I am underway! A new easel awaits me! Varooooom! Or perhaps its “Let’s move it! Move it! Move it! More like that! I love claiming my Boho cottage studio!

Good Morning Sunshine!

What’s your favorite love song, one you love to dance with your sweetheart.

One of mine, I feel, and still when I hear it, I am dancing with Tom. The song is Ti Amo and Italian love song. This is what its lyrics are in English.

Ti Amo

What a mess
Maybe it’s because I love you
It’s an emotion
That grows slowly
Hold me tight and get me closer
If I’m okay with it
Maybe it’s because I love you

I sing to the rhythm of your sweet breath
It’s spring
Maybe it’s because I love you
A Star Falls
But tell me where we are
Who cares
Maybe it’s because I love you

And it flies, it flies you know
Higher and higher you go
And fly fly with me
The world is mad because
And if there is no love
One song is enough
To create confusion
Outside and inside you

And fly fly you go
Higher and higher you go
And fly fly with me
The world is mad because
And if there is no love
One song is enough
To create confusion
Outside and inside you

But after all
What’s Strange
It’s a song
Maybe it’s because I love you
If the world falls
So let’s move on
If the world falls
Maybe it’s because I love you

Hold me tight and get me closer
It’s so good it doesn’t feel real to me
If the world is mad
What’s Strange
Fool for Fool
At least we love each other

And it flies, it flies you know
Higher and higher you go
And fly fly with me
The world is mad because
And if there is no love
One song is enough
To create confusion
Outside and inside you

And fly fly you go
Maybe it’s because I love you
And fly fly with me
And stay closer to me
And if there is no love
But tell me where we are
What a mess
Maybe it’s because I love you
