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!

Finished. On to the n̈ext one@ i think there were 6 or 7 images prior

I was told by a fellow artist, Alice that it was much easier to draw on larger paper. 18 x 24. I agree. When I drew prior images I did stuggle with getting things in a better perspective. Now to prepare paper for a next image and to compose that new still life.

I have been reading about Impressionism. Ran across the name of an Impressionest writer of the name Marcel Proust. The first thought is I love older writers. Such as RFDelderfield, Toilken, Lewis….. they are indeed from the past but they are still loved. It is my hope that I am as delighted by Proust. He is a French writer who has been translated to English. I understand he paints with his words. A fluiitity than can seem rare. I am struck by another thought. What caught my attention was the title of 7 volumes, beginning with “In Search Of Lost Things.” And Remebrance of things past. I found these intriging titles because I find myself in reflection. Perhaps from what I am reading and researching. I think of what changes have happened as life has moved forward and I think of the commonalities of we humans.

What is that question? Is it better to have the glass half empty or half full? 😆 🤣 😂 half way still allows wiggle room. Empty? Nothing. Full means committed, and so the expectation us to do something. It remains full otherwise.

Best wishes! Pejj
