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!

“Oh, Life!_ It’s bigger_” I feel, the thing to remember is that there are always things you can do to affect other things that happen around you. It may involve setting boundaries or changing your actions, even what you own. It’s good to have one-liners for oneself. Like if something in the past is triggered. “I dealt with that!” And let go of it. Make adjustments to your actions as needed, even if you need to pause for a moment. As soon as a thought comes into the mind, we are often off to the races! Mentally, basically, is this a ya or nay? Do you want or need to spend time with this particular thing?” I have felt so tired of thinking. Feeling I must solve something. The body becomes accustomed to this and recalls it as well. The need to be problem-solving can be so strong! But if you’re always in this mode, you’re not enjoying life. Changing the subject to myself is the best way to break what becomes a habit.

What I want is to feel life. and be a part of it. I think people feel removed from living life and being a part of it. The question is what do we really need to live well?

Best wishes! Pejj Nunes
