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!

Today’s guest. He I think tries hard to get tge attention he wants. Always outside my door, making his plans for the day.

I am moving into chapter 2 of Stehen Harrod Buhner’s book. Plant Inteligence and the Imagional Realm. The follow quoted words are intriguing, thoughtful and inspiring, as well there are many applicable thought.

“First you must learn to see.” Barbara McClintock. Seeing with a freshness that will revive you. This is what she means, and seeing things in new ways. We should ask “What more is there about these things I see? What is their function? What purpose is there?” If we stop to truly think beyond projections or assumptions all things truly come to life in new ways. Living things no matter what it is have both perception and consciousness.

“Listening means learning to hear.” Robert Wise. Indeed he sounds wise with this tidbit. Stopping and really listening. This is a marvelous practice. Take the time to feel what you hear. There is an intimate energy to truly listening and feelin sound. There is a gentle rhythm like a heartbeat.

“Music is feeling,then, not sound.” Wallace Steven’s. So it is with the music of nature.

“There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.

May your days be full of love and laughter! Best wishes! Pej

Havw a grat day
