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? Well, it’s not morning.

A day for thoughts. My goal today is to read about composition. I have made it to page 66. I find I do myself confronted by terms used many years ago, yet these are discernible and perhaps more fitting. Vocabularies do change. My desire is the practice of focusing in on my topic of interest. Training the brain to close out of other thoughts. It’s been too long since diving deep into reading the physical book. I love books and reading. Audiobooks are wonderful! But they are not physically held. This time it’s not a story however. Instead it’s about painting composition. It will help with my writing g project, so here I am moving into research, and thi is that interest me as I tell my mind to stop balking at the idea. I wonder but do not think I am alone in such thinking.

Now to move from sitting and come back to this. Best wishes! Pejj

Best wishes. Pejj

    Due to my research regarding neurobiology, consciousness, the mind, and creative process. I learned some interesting things about the mind and how it processes. The results is thoughts are just that thoughts, we file away our best information along with other thoughts that stem from the experiences through all of our senses. However we do t realize we are in control of what we file and call up. If we don’t want to use info we need to call up new info so it’s in the forefront, not the other stuff. We don’t have to examine, pour over old useless stuff. The truth of the matter is the mind prediction ts from what we call up most. it thinks that’s what we want most. Most used info. Well we need to notice we can change this and not go there by changing the topic for ourselves by doing something different, getting something different in our minds. And the mind will resist but being resistant will change things up. The mind doesn’t only call up thoughts. It calls up feelings and that’s what sabotaged us. It’s OK to be happy for no reason, and not solve every dam thought that comes up.
