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 is a beautiful painting by its creator. I wish to be there! I can imagine the coolness of the walls and the warmth of the sun coming in, a soft wind, I would love sitting looking out watching the boats and whatever else I might see. People walking along a beach below. The flowers have been picked from a walk along the beach. I love the walls and can imagine a simple but elegant room behind me. The light in this image is perfect! Just perfectly created!

Coffee at the right. I am thinking of creativity this morning. It’s role in our lives. Being creative is more than we may realize. It is in the placement of things in our homes, in how we dress, the flower gardens we create, in what we cook and the dishes we use. We are embracing creativity with what we use. The color of paint on our walls or wall papers. The flooring we chose.

Like a painting sunshine comes in through the window or door and our hearts are warmed. It such simple things we come to love. I remember sitting on the front stoop as a kid and noticing the warmth of the sunshine on my toes. I recall looking at the trees, the grass with clover and other wild flowing plants, the tiny bugs deeper within. I saw it all as something amazing. I recall watching the dust caught in the sunshine from windows. As if tiny diamonds filled the air, they blinked at me.

Well, best wishes! It is a Saturday, and I feel lazy and in need of sitting in the sun! Pejj
