https://youtu.be/z6kpqTnBpXU Burning the Midnight Oil Today started exactly how it should. We had an awesome dinner at Arts & Eats Café. It was one of those meals that hits just right. The kind where you lean back afterward and think, “Yep I could take a nap right here.” For a brief moment, life slowed down….

https://youtu.be/qjrsAsMdrDs When a Rhino Spaceship Becomes an Eskimo Riding a Dinosaur Some paintings have a plan. This wasn’t one of them.

Standing there with a practiced grin,Nodding hard to the Great Leader’s call.Every “Yes!” another step ahead,Always standing… never taking the fall….

https://youtu.be/nVYmYi4K2K8 6 Paintings in 7 Days – Day 6   Today started a little differently.   The motivation wasn’t there.   After several long days of painting, I could feel myself running on fumes, so I decided to step away from the easel for a bit. Sometimes the best thing you can do is recharge….

https://youtu.be/iJkESwiva3k?si=94lulELjiTG1gbP2 Today was busy. Loud. One of those midweek grinds where it feels like the world has a meeting on your calendar that you never agreed to.
