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 Afternoon Sunshine!

Title: The Race Is On!

The Race certainly is on! It is! Isn’t it! Life can feel very busy!

For the last two days I am having fun using pastels pencils to create images of the birds that come to my deck. Quite a crowd. I have been taking photos and found several photos I liked. They have inspired me to create a series of the bird images. They will also help me build a children’s book portfolio. The first four will be a mourning dove, crow, blue jay and cardinal.

I did not realize how long it has been since I have done other forms of art other than Shibui. It feels good. Hanging them makes me feel great!

Now my day has a rhythm to it is working to write in the morning and then do the birds in the evening. I have taken two days off from writing and will get back into it on Monday. Six and a half hours this week, but 45 hours last week.

In the past working three different revenue streams worked well. Artist can feel that it’s all about creating art. That’s not all there is to it. Giving the mind a break helps.

I also enjoy creating abstract works.

Best wishes! Pejj Nunes
