I went to the art auction where my larger piece was up for bidding, and met the woman who bought its companion piece last auction. She was so thrilled to meet me, and I was so excited to finally meet the person who liked my art enough to beat out other bidders for it!

I used the same colors from the tiny canvases last night on a couple of wood panels I’d bought at Walmart the last time I pet sat. I like the moody vibe.

Either way, I got him. If adding horns wouldn't vibe with you as an artist, I'll make him a hat with horns, because accessories are our birthright.

My best friend's mother, when very deep into dementia, could be "bribed" into doing the things she needed to (like going to the doctor, getting in the car) with fruit gems, so they hold a lil' place in my heart.

A theater colleague just sent me a Zoom project I wrote in 2021, a reimagining of "Tartuffe" written in anapestic tetrameter (Dr. Seuss rhymes). The very first actor onscreen was a lovely woman we shortly thereafter lost to Covid. My heart.

To thwart the cats' claws, I replaced my couch with a daybed, and the benefit of replacing a couch with a daybed is when you want to hang on the couch, you're also in bed.
