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 love and laughter find you! Coffee at the right! All is well within my world so far! LOL! May sunshine be over your shoulders! May all that the rain come another day once you find your umbrella!

I thought it’s about time to remember Joyce Hifler! I love the pearls of wisdom found in her books. They were written in the 70’s yet are applicable for out time as well, with all that is happening! The following verse is one of my favorites.

“Sometimes when the moon wanes low____ and the stars have all the sky____ I cannot help but wonder some____ and ask the reasons why____ with all this glory here below____ and heaven there above____ why must we quarrel about small things____ When we were made to love. ____The great a small, the young and old____ the beauty of this land____ from mountaintop to valley low____ the beating surf and sand. There is a life within it all. ____ As dear as dear can be____ It is the beauty in your face____ It is the light in me!”

There are many beautiful things about our world, and beautiful abilities are within many of us humans. I wish to recall such things, especially when there is a lot is very ugly at this time____. Knowing there are good things can happen gives us hope. A lot is crashing down right now, but I see the hope in this that we can rebuild once all the horrid clutter is moved out of the way. We know what we don’t want! And we can change it! We just need to put in the effort in and not give up on one another. Find likeminded people and begin to build on what you can, it will avalanche and spread wider. Set the example by doing what you can within your own life. Love and take care of those around you, especially yourself. Home is where the heart is.

Remember to understand thoughts come our way but we don’t have to go with any particular thought because it comes up. Replace the negative thoughts with positive words (thoughts) and actions!

Best wishes! Pejj Nunes
