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!

This photo is a Shibui Found Image Art Titled Misty Morning. There is more design work to be done, since the taking of this photo. I take breaks from an image so that when I come back I can solve it better. I often see it more clearly.

A sunny day, warm, yet does not feel as muggy as yesterday. Coffee is at the right. I am waiting for it to cool a bit. My quiet morning is disrupted by the fans. There are some dishes in the sink, paperwork on my drawing table to do; a phone call needs to be made, and I am good for whatever else I do today. A package will come with nails in it. This will allow me to put my felt board back up. There were issues with some of the felt tiles as they fell off the wall. I thought they might do this not trusting in the two-sided tape. Nails in the corners will secure it better. I don’t want what I display to get damaged.

I am writing the manual and working on characters and themes, dialog for the children’s book. So much is happening in my mind regarding this story I think it will be more than one book. Emma is delighted to help me form ideas and build characters. She is including some of the characters in a story she is writing. She writes extremely well. She simply needs to know about writing. The best way to learn about writing is reading and writing yourself.

Thoughts for today? Bringing myself into balance, and doing things to move myself forward. Find things I need to move myself forward, and not put it off. Procrastination. Simply just do it! Time moves faster than we want it to. The plan is to take the morning to write and the time to stop will be 12. Then I will do the things I need to do before returning to the things I want to do.

Best wishes! Pejj
