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!

Good morning! May all be well with you! May love and laughter find you! Finally, I am moved into my new home, and I love it here! I have just a few more boxes. I have my desktop computer running! I CAN WRITE!!!! LOL And the studio is ready to rock and roll! The studio always requires change as it depends on what you’re doing in there!

The trauma of the last 7 months has come to an end, and with the new year here its time for a new start and not bring the craziness forward. Moving is not an easy thing to do. I am home though! In Maine and I now live where my old elementary & grammar school was. Likely I am in the playground! This is way cool! It’s a small town and I can see myself walking around and being a regular in the shops and library!

My daughter Clair helped me to find it. I live close to my kids now and that’s great too! It used to be a two-and-a-half-hour drive, and a three-hour drive.

I have changed once more. And I can keep the promises I made after Thomas died. I said I would change life up, and do things I have not done before, or things I wanted to do. I would get out of the studio, and I would reach out to people, be more outgoing. And that I would focus on wrapping up the book on Shibui Found Image Art so that I could do other art forms like the oil pastels. I am learning to love these. I avoided them once not liking my efforts.

I chose this image as it reflects how I feel. I feel very good at this time! I feel home. Despite what else is happening in the world at large____. My Goal is to help others via my art. I am involved in a collaboration with two other artists. The topic is our connection to one another and to the world.

Best wishes Pejj
