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!

A Shibui Ink Painting. There are some tweaks to do. I do not give permission to use my work without request. The image has been modified to try the brown value.

Good morning! It is muggy here. Now to survive the muggy weather. It should pass at some point. The good news is I have my car in the shop. The next thing is how much will it cost. But I will have wheels to explore and connect with people. I can shop locally rather than shop groceries online. It may be convenient but its nice to pick your own foods.

Today I have a lot of books to put away. Unpacking from the move still. Its always a matter of finding the right place for things. Now I need my birth certificate. I will start by looking in two different places. Digging things up is always some sort of excavation project.

I am seeking balance today. Another inner level. Pushing past to a deeper point. Listening to the rhythm of noise around me. Today I am noticing the fan. It turns and makes this soft whirring sound as it goes from side to side. It is a soothing sound. A comforting sound. It’s not a sound from nature so it seems odd.

Coffee is at the right. My grandson is asleep in my bed. He came over and said he is staying for 5 days! LoL I have some ice creams coming today and cookies for this little fellow and his sister. It’s hot out, ice cream seems the perfect thing to get!

It is back to writing today. After I clear books away, and pick up. Not a hub-bub kind of day so far!

Best wishes! Pejj
