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!

One little fix and this still life is done. I will put these the jug and light green vase together again in a new still life. Nor sure what the 3rd item will be. I have a lot to choose from. Thinking of just doing the jug and light green vase. Practice, practice. Practice! Perfection the goal. LOL.

Today is rainy. We needed umbrella while waiting for the bus. The earth always needs some rain. A day to bake cookies for the kids.Do art, read, journal, and watch a couple videos on my new camera. I could put the cork board up too.

Sunshine from a couple days ago. There! That’s better! A soft light weight, yellow sweater. This will allow me to leave the doors open. The air reminds me of being at camp. That coolness a cup of hot coffee or cocoa soothes. You sit close to the water on a big rock while your butt turns to ice and goes numb. The loons come by gliding through the morning mist. The scene makes it worth while as the sun peaks through.

Corrections/directions.

One last tweak. The opening on the purple vase needs to be smaller. I need to study it to find more tweaks.

Best wishes! Have a supper day! Pejj
