Just so thankful to have painting and art making in my life. ❤️🎨

Losing yourself and making work with no expectations is good for you.

Reposting this one. The last time I posted it I was half asleep and there was a bunch of spelling errors.

I need to finish grading, update my website and send out a newsletter, but all I really want to do is get off these screens and paint. 🎨

Just spent 14 bucks on parking and 17 dollars on a burrito. It’s official, I can’t afford to live. #recession

Sometimes The Cat Plays Guitar
28” x 20”

Started this last Spring/Summer when our pear tree was plentiful and when we first brought our kitten, Tomasito home.

I repainted and reworked this one so many time before I was happy with it. Fitting as Fake Spring is happening in Portland right now. 🎨

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

with any creative project there comes a point where you need to stop talking about it, stop thinking about it, stop worrying about it, stop asking others about it, stop researching it... and just start making it.

and i always, always, always wish i hit that point sooner than i did.

Trying to survive and make a modest living these days is so freaking draining. 😣
