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!

Coffee at the ready! It is Saturday all day long! The birds are out on the deck eating the seeded suet. They are quite happy with the food raised up onto a pedestal rather than a low dish on the deck. I feel bad that last year I put more seed out. However, the suet is less messy. I do not have all the birds I did, just those that like suet.

Last night I began a new writing project. In addition to this project I wrote a poem, sending it off as a blog. Having my desk top computer back is inspiring. There is lots of storage. It’s a fresh start.

I am moving forward with the manual. Feeling really good about that! I have lost some information. And hope to recoup it.

Today I have been writing about the form principle, applied when doing illustration or drawing, and painting. Thinking about how to apply this theory to Shibui is to create a comparison for others can understand how to apply it to Shibui. For example, the creation of a light source is necessary in Shibui as it is with paintings. To have perspective, depth of field, a horizon line, planes___ these are worked into place, so that they exist to work from. Imagined so they become realistic.

I wrote about eight hours, so its time to stop and do something else.
