My BAD! Kitty horoscope...no shit!



October 31, 2005

Dig out the paints and get your creative energies flowing today, Heather. Keep in mind that you might not necessarily have the discipline or the commitment to follow through on any project that you start today, but you will most certainly have no lack of creative artistic energy. Merge your mental and emotional processes and have them unite together on a blank canvas. Bring beauty to the world by letting yourself shine out for others to see.
Brought to you by my favorite free horoscope place http://www.astrocenter.com
Pretty funny huh?

last call for 5 flowers...if you decide to purchase before midnight PST...I'll reduce the price to $250.00! Wow! Ohhhh! Ahhhhh! Come on, buy it; it's already framed and it's damn good. And someone (if it's not you) needs this painting..you know it, they know it...just do it.
Nuff said. Meow power!...pass the chocolate covered Midol please.
Good night BAD! Kitties everywhere....
I'll check in the morning for the person who was bold enough to claim ownership of above mentioned (ad nauseum) painting...get on it.
Sleep well ghouls and goblins!

It's a fun painting, with a lively movement filled background and fun blue green flowers. They are blowing in the slight breeze captured in the perfect moment of almost blurry movement. This is the best picture I have gotten of it so far...must see in person! Even more detail realized in person...it glows. Will be going to the MO-Joe show at a much higher price...if one of you smart people don't snatch it up soon!
Have a great day!

New Digital Mixed media Quote for the day! This terrific photo was gifted to me by my good friend and brilliant outsider photographer Mark Des Marets. He was printing out some his really great photo's for a show on his fancy copier, and the ink ran out halfway thru the print. This picture I believe is from his travels in the UK...I'm sorry I can't remember the location, I'll ask him and find out, but it's a picture of some graffiti on the side a wall in the un-said city from the unknown land...but it's just such a great blurry moving image...I think he took it from a bus window. Anyway when he has throw aways ...misprints...whatever... he gifts me his scraps...I love them So much, I love playing with them. So here is a first in a week long series of Mr. Des Marets (copyright 2005) photo rejects and my artistic influences...I hope you enjoy them. Mark also has really incredible works for sale that printed out of his big fancy pants machine just wonderfully...for sale...I think, I'll have to check on that.
But I just thought I'd give you the break down of the background image, because I love it and because my friend is such a great photographer...he needed a shout out!

These are my working quotes for today...I have started a new painting...my first going back to an older style with a new twist...Mainly I have better control now than then. I want to start bringing them out...but as you know I am still trying to sell and give art away...with difficulty.
SO... Scroll down and browse while I put together a post to knock your socks off about the art of the day.

Pinky, I am fine, I had a bad night, with bad dreams that's all ..Sorry if it bothered you...IBS is the most fun ever...everyone should run out and get some ....good lord somedays, I would like the whole lower GI removed....Too much info....this early in the morning, but if any of you suffer with arthritis, fibromyalgia, and/or IBS...then when you know when you get an "attack"
you think about it too....I want a new drug....one that won't make me sick, one that won't make me crash my car, or make me feel three felt thick...I want a a new drug...that's all...thanks Mr Lewis.
More to come soon....!
I am feeling better this morning... ready to go at this week like a mad dog....come on...you know I won't ever give up...it's not in me.
Heather

BAD! Kitty Art Feature of the DAY! & the Quote for the day

Close up detail shot


BAD! Kitty Featured Art of the day

18 x 24 NOT framed but IS ready to hang, with finished sides.

oils and acrylic with mixed media

$250.00 ***Today only**** My Husband does not want me to sell this one, it's his favorite...but I need the room for all my new work to come into the studio....he has held on to it for too long! I just wish I was a better photographer, because again... these pictures can't capture the glaze, the depth and richness of color, or the fine details that make this painting special. If you would like to see it in person, let me know, we can arrange that.

This work came about while I was dealing with the flu from hell. I have a strange body chemistry...I can drink and not get drunk...but Nyquil can make me so drunk and stupid...so guess what I had just taken before starting this painting? HA! I had, earlier in the day been painting a large mural for a local art magnet school and I had a pile of paint scraps...You know left over stuff...so being that I was cleaning up and I had just taken the Nyquil to be able to go to sleep and rest....I scraped my working pallet off and onto this throw away canvas that I had bought at Goodwill to paint over as exercise...The next thing I remember my husband was shaking me awake at my work table...I had put my head down on the table (yes into the paint too) and passed out....when I woke up the next morning, this painting was on the easel drying....so hence the name...Sometimes I forget...Because I have no memory of creating it...All though I know that I did, because it took two weeks the get the crimson red oil paint stain off my forehead and right cheek. It's dreamy and calming....and very glazed...deep reds, marron and dark grays invite you into the waterfall of golden leaves....it looks very liquid, and like the bubbles and leaves are really moving, and the gold powders (real gold ground into powder form) I used in this work gives everything a slight shimmer...Especially when light moves across it. I have not ever offered it for sale, because my art isn't always my loving mates cup of tea...and he went crazy for this one., so I kept it for the family collection. It has gone to two shows, one abstract show, where it got an honorable mention, and one Mixed Media International show where it took second best in show...only because it's on a reclaimed (recycled) canvas and unframed...so I know it's good. I have had many offers from patrons that have come into the studio (for more than I am asking today, so if your one of my local patrons and have seen this, now is your chance to really own it)...but I always said no... My asking price now is far less than it's ever been before...Not because I am not a good artist...but because the freaking economy sucks, and I'm tired of playing into that whole story of if you don't ask a high enough price no one will respect you...that's crap and I'm calling bullshit on it...I hate the "normal" approach to becoming a successful artist in this world. I'm not pandering to the elite...(all though if you have money to spend, spend it here please.) *Grin* My goal is to get my work into the hands of the people who need it...is this one for you?

I am having a large end of the year and Open House event in early December to officially open BAD! Kitty Studio up to the public...but I wanted to start that show with all new stuff...and I just don't have enough room, with all my last years work...that was under the management teams... "just see if we are not right about this pricing strategy thing, Heather". Well...I'm done...they were wrong, my way works better, and more people get to buy, and that makes it easy for me to continue to work. Art does not have to come from a degree or a elite gallery to be great work. It just has to be great to you. So, I am clearing the studio...I want to be able to see my new work up so I can keep going with it. So... go buy some art...help a brave, saucy grrrl out.

My manager and art patrons are always telling me my prices are too low...People won't respect me if I don't ask for more money...so I followed my advisors advice this last year and watched my sales go from everything I created sold FAST! to next to nothing in sales...I would rather sell to real people who can't normally afford quality, fine art....why? Well because I want to...that's why I fired them all and took it back over...I can sell art for 5.oo each if I want to...don't get any ideas...but I am a smart and good business woman too....I know that I can't afford most of the great art that I see and want...so I am going to focus more on the art than the sales...and hopefully my prices are low enough for you to able to afford them (if not then talk to me...please!)...or low enough for you to be The smart collector and be getting into a quality work of investment art, (I sell like crazy in the galleries...I just don't agree with the whole elitist, expensive attitude that most galleries have...hell even the vanity galleries are snobs.) I am just a grrrrl that paints...like it or leave it. I would rather sell it for less and get a chance to maybe even know the buyer a little...hell... even maybe find out why they liked what they are buying....you know human contact? If I never know you that's fine too, but I am not an elitist artist...I am a dissident, a revolutionary, and visionary, and a rebel with a cause. Art is healing, art is subjective, art is introspective, art is healing thru visual language. Art was here before the written word...art IS the language of Humanity.

So...yes I am good enough to be selling at much higher prices...I have done that for years...but it felt empty...cold and removed...that's why I set out on this path to find you REAL LIVE HUMANS...even if you only have two nickels to rub together....it's important to me that the art finds it's proper home...and get the hell out of my "remodeling the studio" way. So help a fellow human out...look through any of the features for the day for the past week, and if you want any of them...Contact me I will happily work with you to get the art into your home and out of my cluttered studio...SCREW HIGH PRICED Galleries.... and the like. Art with Soul that you can really afford....that's my story and I'm sticking to it...please don't drive me back to the big fancy galleries...please buy some of my art and keep it out of the Art Pound, where they euthanisze your career if you don't sell the way they want you too...and the artist gets to PAY through the nose for the privilege...(aka galleries and some art agents). These prices believe it or not are what I would actually get from the paintings if they were being sold in galleries...EXAMPLE: the one above went to the second show, where they wanted to place it up for sale for 1,300.00. Of that I would have gotten about 25% after fees, and commissions, and shipping costs...about 25% which equals $325.00 to me. So my asking price of $250.00 is really inexpensive art. AND FREE SHIPPING in the USA. Another savings of 60.00 or so.

Adopt a painting today! From a real live, Living Breathing, trying to keep the lights on artist...today!

Have a great one all...I am so busy I am already getting dizzy!

****Here's my working quote for the day*** (yes... I work 7 days a week)

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: your mind trandsends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be."

~Patanjali

My inspired great purpose is to get my art to the people who need it, so join with me here, and let's be the change we want to see in the world! Micro/global economy is the way of the future...get on board!

love, Heather

BAD! Kitty Last call...

7 day no questions asked return policy (see site for details)

This work came into being because of an assoiciation with an art group that I was with for a short while...we won't go into why I am no longer with them...but long story short...we used to get these "themes" for a work that would be produced in a week or less, competition style. The Idea here was Asian Style...they were looking for something along the lines of the Japan and China masters...like ink paintings...I have a problem with authiority (see archives for explainations on that) and I did it my way. I was surpised to find out that I won the compition for that theme...and it was because I didn't follow the rules. Go figure...so this work is layerd with image, feathers, acrylic paints and text. When I think about the word style....this is what I got.

I have enjoyed it in my studio for these last 6 months, a mini testament to being true to my own style and way of doing things...viva la art! Being me is the only thing I am any good at...so here's my resistance and giving-in too, my visual language about finding and fitting into society...in your own style...and just not giving a damn what others think.

That about sums up the largest part of me...like it or leave it...it don't matter to me. My self confidence is based on my opinion of myself...not anyone else's "view" of me...we all have many hats that we wear....I choose to wear them all at once, or not at all...I do it my way all the time. I can and will "produce" something if I need to...but I can't have Joy in that. I can paint bucolic landscapes, big eyed kitties, pears and apples, or flowers...and I do. But from my view of things, my visual language, flow, color and tone. Texture, movement...honesty. The feather in this and other works recently, symbolize The Way for me...they are fixed to thier environments, their worlds...yet at the slightest breeze they flutter, tremble....are "caught" in a current...like us humans trembling, tumbling thru this life and yet remaining fixed to our realities...our choices...our addictions, our fears, our fantasy futures....our in-this-moment realities. I will always do it my own way, that's the way it is. Makes me a difficult person....I have heard, hardheaded, stubborn, and willful all my life...it makes me a Real Live Human...and I am successful when I say I am, not anyone else.

I am successful.

Period...end of story.

Buy this work of art and think about your own style...your sauce...who are you? Are you who you want to be...or who your inner you believes you can be?

What keeps you caught in the current?

Be bold...and buy art it's good for your heart.

and don't forget the water too:)

On Being Aware...

One quick thought...I know somebody reading this today will see this and get in touch with me about it so I am just putting it out there...
You lost a silvery...or least a metal that feels like jewelry bracelet or necklace that was really special because of the charm (s) on it....I know where that is....contact me. I think it was passed down thru your family...looks like a grandmother gave it to you at a ceremony of some kind....and you never really wore it that often....I know where it is...You also recently remodeled your bedroom or moved into a new house with a master bedroom that has high wallboard trimming....Molding. (tall)
Let me know if this is you....
There I knew you wanted a magic rabbit...to prove I am what I say I am...so there you go...poof. Magic Rabbit. Grandmothers named starts with R or B I wan to say her real name was something with the R, but everyone called her something that sounds like bunnie or ba-ba? Or similar...to that. Let's see what happens?
PS I still can't upload pictures!!!! ARRRRGHHHH!

BAD! Good Morning to you***Quotes for the day**

Good Morning...for some reason I can't seem to upload pictures this morning, so I instead posted the printed out version of the quotes that will be inspiring my process today. As most of you know this is my daily exercise, and as OCD as I can be sometimes...I can't do anything in even numbers...so when going thru my mediation book more than one quote rang true with me...I had to look for another one to compliment...Then that made two...A no-no...see recent past mentioned OCD reasoning... so then it turned into 5 my favorite number....and 11, and 22, and well.....never mind. I'll post my Art for the day as soon as I can....no takers on Cracker Jack Mary...she is still available (on sale) at the web site.... and today's ART is going to be a BIG painting...so check back soon if you are in the market for LARGE works...4'x4'x2' and it's not on my site anywhere either...so
it's a Surprise! Hope you all are having a good day so far....and for Pete's sake...buy some art...I am starting to sound like a broken record here...but you don't get what you don't ask for, so being the big mouth, saucy broad that I am...I'm asking for the sale.
Just ask our own Miss Pinky if I don't work with people on the art thing...she can testify....
Be bold...and in this moment today, the world is going to feel... the strain today of the load we are carrying...so breath, and know you are not alone...and you are. Comments? Questions? Ask me anything today...and I will answer it...Advice? Maybe...but straight from the hip...I am a spirit advisor (intuitive/clairvoyant/aura reader/healer life coach) in my day job....so people pay quite a bit to talk to me...so I can give this away too...Today I am opening up that part of my life to my loyal blog fans....if you have a question or need to know kind of thing...let me know, I will give free answers today for the next 4 hours....it's 6:26 am my time PST.
So bring it on and let's have some fun...or deep thoughts...what do you want to know today? Need a healing? Let me know.
Be Bold! Heather


***Quotes***


"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarding genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
~ Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933)


"I have found that great people do have in common. . .an immense belief in themselves and in their mission. They also have great determination as well as an ability to work hard. At the crucial moment of decision, they draw on their accumulated wisdom. Above all, they have integrity."
~ Your self Karsh

"Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it."
~ Greg Anderson

"I find in all the artists that I admire most a disturbing element, a distortion, giving evidence of a struggle . . . . In great art, this conflict is hidden, it is unresolved. All that is bursting with energy is disturbing — not perfect."
~ Henry Moore (1898-1986)

"People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives."
~ J. Michael Straczynski

Cracker Jack Mary came about from meeting a really neat guy named Manny, and another great woman who both gifted me with parts of this assemblage. The Cracker Jack Toys are authentic vintage toys that are all in mint condition, and wired on, so if they were ever "harvested" for their individual value they could be removed. There is at least one toy from the last 50 decades of Cracker Jacks on this work. The portrait of the "Mary" came from a local woman who gifted me her old family photo's for art. Manny sold me his little box of Cracker Jack toys for a few dollars telling me the whole time, he could sell them for more on ebay each than what I paid for all of them. To my surprise...he was correct! One of the toys is a real rare one, made of vellum and worth about 60.00 by itself! I had no idea they were even collectible, but when I told him that I wanted to use them for an art project, he handed them all over for $8.oo. So thanks to Manny, and the lovely lady that gifted me with these great items to help tell my story, in visual form. Change is Good.This is the quote that inspired me during the creation...***"It is the individual only who is timeless.

BAD! Quote for the day


Ok...Fine I am making my own future...Creating my reality today. I am still working on trying to get OK with not being able to do it all, or get it all done. I am still trying to figure out how to be this creative woman, and still be able to keep the lights on. I am still trying to make myself sure that following my dreams is the right thing to do. If Quantum-ness holds true...Then seeing myself as already successful should do the trick. Somedays are better than others in this effort to live in the moment. I mean I want, I want, I want...but that is not the definition of me...my wants. My passion to create what moves me, to heal thru my abilities, to cope with reality...that is what defines me. My art is an example of that evolution...my writing a way to speak to myself, in clear terms.
Self to inner self: If you want it...go create it...go get it...go make it happen.
Inner self to self: Shut the hell up. Can't you see I'm wallowing here?
So this is it...there is no dress rehearsal, and I am a Full Time artist...(with a part time day job) making my future one creation at a time...and the effort of that activity will change me...I welcome the change today.
Dear Universe it's me...I'm still here.
I'll post the Art of the day next....special price for the art of the day...so you don't want to miss it.
Be bold!
Yours in truth,
Heather

***the quote that inspired the art***
"There is no short-cut to art, one has to work hard, be open and flexible in your mind, keep the child alive inside you, and through a whole lifetime be ready to learn new things and, of course, be mentally prepared for a hard punch on your nose — especially when you think you are doing well."
~ Bente Borsum (193?-) Norwegian actress with the National Theatre, director of the National

***A little about Fairy World***
(sorry to the regulars...I am just reposting for the new people in on the loop on the fairy thing...sheeshhh! *grin*)

The Fairy World Series has been a yearlong exploration of my unique brand of Woman. Growing up, I experienced the extremes of 1970’s stereotypical behavior: both of the genders were represented clearly to my little-grrrl self. I learned to fight, to fear the adults of the world, and to loath my biggest birth defect, being born female.
I wanted to play war, and I fought regularly, boys mostly. I hated the color pink, which was spoon-fed in every petite little girl bite I took. In long hair and dresses, I went about my life trying to make sense of what it was to be a girl in this world. Seeking balance, seeking my inner truth, coming to grips with the body that was at once, object/commodity, weapon/tool, and all the time weak/powerful, and shameful/virtuous.
Learning how to play the roles with gusto, I have traveled 36 years in a body that has not always felt like my own; a rental that is a little short in the legs and itchy in all the spots that are just out of reach. Fairy World allowed me to marry the warrior, and the type, or brand, of woman that I am. I love my grrrl-ness now, a beautiful, complex and scary uniqueness that defies definitions and allows ultimate flexibility. The female form is inherently preprogrammed into us to bring forth many emotions from every human being on the planet. I am one such human, and this is what I see/feel about also being classified as Female Human.

My fairies are not average beauties; they represent the different aspects of my new breed of human being, a complex being that at this time, resides in my gray matter, and now these colorful canvases too. We are all creator and destroyer, we all also have a terminal illness; it’s called birth. I am proud to be this complicated being commonly known as Woman, privately known as the tiny, infinite universe. This life is full of potential, pain and change. Choice is like mathematical equations; never ending numbers spiraling into the void, life is choice; choose wisely and often. Welcome to my world.
Fairy World
***A little on the painting itself***

“Fairy Tree” is homage to my three sons, who will be lights dancing in the trees of my heart, forever. Fairy Tree is about celebrating the life eternal our children give to us when they are born. They are gifts, each one. Our worlds go on, and I am grateful for their weight on my shoulders.

Where is your tree of gratitude growing?

This work came from the following quotes posted on my studio wall for the day. I was feeling blocked up and I just started laying plaster...I used to be a home/landscape designer...So I can lay some mud let me tell you....I put the raised areas on top of a smei-smooth layer with a plaster bag and thinned plaster. I loved the process on this, it had no plan, and except for using the same size flat stick for the vertical lines...it just came.... I love it when that happens.
***** for the why****
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. Albert Einstein

Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual. Arthur Koestler

When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong. BuckminsterFuller

Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity. Edwin Land

Conditions for creativity are to be puzzled; to concentrate; to accept conflict and tension; to be born everyday; to feel a sense of self. Erich Fromm

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.
Monica Baldwin

You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.

My working Quote for the day...

"The mystical life is the centre of all that I do and all that I think and all that I write. . . . I have always considered myself a voice of what I believe to be a greater renaissance of the revolt of the soul against the intellect."
~ William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

I am my own Universe today...I am practicing the art of self control, and finding the beauty in the mundane. I am working hard to let go of my anxiety over not ever being able to get it all done. I am free from the burden of talent...it's not the size that matters, it's what you do with it kind of thing. Here I am Universe, open and ready for whatever change/destruction/opportunity you would like to provide. Here I am universe asking for what I want. Let it be.
Being Bold is hard. I want to be just boring old me sometimes...but the new energy and abilities that keep pouring forth out of my hands...well it's freaking keeping me up at night. I am discovering/uncovering something internally, it's..Indescribable. I just must do. I have opened myself to the possibility of taking risks..Off not being..But doing the being...I don't know, I am full of indigo/green/red energy..It's coming out my eyes, fingers and toes it feels like. Wow..It's not even all under my control. It's just happening, as long as I stay present in this very moment...I have absolute power, I can do anything for a few seconds...I have faith that I will have enough to live the next few that lay ahead..And for some miracal reasoning I do....Mystical me?
Or is this what it's all about? Ask for what you want, clearly. Say ouch when you get hurt, immediately. Say sorry when you do harm...asap. And do you best? That's it?
Mystical me...will uncover the truth! I will lay to the bone the reality with my mighty saber of....ok I ran out of steam, it's early give me a break. But you get my meaning. My Quantum machine is firing up..Come on universe, let's ride.
Be Real Today...Living in today, Heather

*** About this painting***

“Innocence” is my exploration of innocent discovery. My power center sent this to the canvas to awaken my inner child, to see the world with a new vision, a new perception. I stand proud of my body’s beauty and power, and also I am balancing like a bubble, fragile and delicate, in a stony and uncaring world.

Where is your innocent?


"What is our innocence, What is our guilt? All are naked, none is safe."
~ Marianne Moore (1887-1972)

BAD! Random Thoughts...

Some progress made....



Tree Hill 18x24 oils

This is what I have been working on...it's the painting that I started for Max, and when I got done my Mate man looked at it, and said...huh? It's Puff the Magic Dragon...he was right...it was too young and puffy...and well baby-ish, he would have not been excited...so I got frustrated, and started the other one...see old posts for pic's...that ended up in the classic Mother's dream Moment...."OH my GOD MOM! WOW! I Love it!"...I got it on tape...and yes I replayed it later and cried...

So, the painted over version of puff...is nice, I like the image kinda showing thru underneath. And I have crappy light here today, so this picture isn't very good...the colors are rich, and deep...and flowing...and there is no blue cast to it at all...

anyway, I'll post my working quote for the day in a bit....have a good one all!

Two and a half hours and counting


"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people."
~ Albert Einstein


Amen Brother Einstein....Amen. I can testify about being a purpose driven woman today...Burning at both ends. Today is the day...Max is 7 years old...We have been on a three month countdown, because after listening to a conversation I was having with mate man, about my numbers and chart both saying that I was destined to win the lottery or something along those lines, and that 7 is the life path of success and failure...The balance, you can squander yourself if you are a seven...Just trying to figure out what part of you is the greatness you want to live with. He decided this was his first magic power year...watch out world!
I am living in service to that little, wrinkled manling that was born 7 years ago today. He was my easiest pregnancy...I was happy as long as there were strawberries and cheese and tomato sandwiches...And avocados...Those too. In contrast to the other two pregnancies that were both a struggle and lesson in controlled panic...When his mighty kicks broke one of my lower ribs....It wasn't that bad. I was not sick or scared one day with him. I wanted to keep him my baby, my oooppss...Your pregnant...Bonus baby! He has the sweetest nature and kindest spirit, I have ever known. Everybody else sees it too...he's charming and fierce at the same time...His art/photography name is Max Justice defender of the underdogs...He named himself that at five. He "rescued" a little girl from a bully at a local playground...He decided super hero work was for him. He also wants to be an artist, a singer, and a doctor...When he is done with that, he thinks he might want to be a chef and maybe a part time scientist or astronaut...he hasn't decided yet.
He is large, in life and spirit. Big and blocky like his Dad, you woulnd't think he was only 7...he gets taken for 10 all the time, so he tells me.
I am turning the house into a party palace with decorations and the painting I did for him, we are just simple folks...the bulk of his "presents" are two large boxes filled: one with books and magazines for his own source books for art, and the other with junk, real down to earth broken stuff...for his assemblages...and a crap load of art supplies, including a book just like mine, leather bound and full of white pages to fill. I did break down and go to the clearance isle at Kmart...I tried to find used lego's but I couldn't in time...arrrgh....so I got him some of those, because he and his brother will play/fight over them for hours....bliss...Until they get stuck in my vacuum or under my bare feet on hardwood floors, then they will be those cursed and abhorred toys....lego's...evil or genius?

So gotta run...make like a magic fairy and whip the place into shape....
Have a great day.....I am!
Be bold!

BAD! New ART at the Kitty Shack of Love

WIP...I am still working on this one, needs shading and highlights, and some more detail work...but I really like the way the moon is so see thru and just hanging there...I needed a new quite place...and the trees are a new design for me. This painting is about my boys, growing strong, and getting older...and how wonderful and sad it really is. I'll miss my babies.
But I am proud of how perfectly imperfect they are, and how they love me, and this family. We are tight...it's cool. I'm growing up too.
Feedback on the progress on this one anyone? This is oils, on 18x24 canvas. Will be $200.00....any takers? Want to help with the finishing ideas, and then take it home? Well... just give me high sign over here....I'm ready when you are.



Max's Birthday dragon 18x 24 oils ...sorry for the poor quality pictures here...I'll try to get better ones up soon, these are blurry a little and the colors are really layers of glazes...so it's real fluid and wet looking...even though it's dry, the dragon is sharp, flat black. I know you know somebody that would love something like this, I can recreate a dragon or other tribal type for you custom...just ask. This painting would sell for $200.00...

Have a great day all! Heather

Put your Kitty in the middle and let it swing like you just don't care


"Others attempt to live cautiously in the safety of established patterns. They do not feel fulfilled, yet they have found a formula not of success (whatever that is), but of avoiding failure. This is the living death — when security becomes the overwhelming consideration."
~ Randy Read

Well eyeballs spring open...my head starts spinning with details of the day, and I feel like staying in my warm cozy spot...just 10 more minutes...I don't wanna get up and be grown up...just five more minutes....please?

So, I am going to scan some of my journal pages in, here in a moment...and take pictures of the two paintings that I worked on all weekend, I did get Max's birthday painting finished...and almost finished the other one....it's a whole new style of painting that is emerging...I really like the way it feels...but I'll post about it here later....hope everyone in the Path of Wilma is doing ok this morning, and all my firends are good...check in everybody and give me the heads up...take care all ...more from the front lines soon....I'm working on success to day...we will see were that takes me...and thinking about what that means too me today. I am sure it has nothing to do with playing it safe...

Pinky Feel Better! Here's a funny for you!

BAD! Sunday morning Random Thoughts...

Funny how when you wake up and it's another day of minute by minute, non stop ORDINARY life... itinerary for the day. I mean... I have figured out that I even have an "optimal window of time" for certain ...You know personal stuff...And if I miss the window...Well, shower in a bottle for me. I am sure that every other human on the planet has experienced this feeling...I am sure the whole point of being a grown-up with any sense of fun left in her, is to learn effective time management...Is that nirvana? Time management...The big One-stop shopping center in the sky...One place for anything and everything you need, with no lines, no waiting. Shower shave and cut...food...Hey this sounds like the Jetsons to me...enough said..ahem resuming grown-up mode....

The other day I was sitting in traffic...Suburb traffic, there is nothing like it. Some days I feel like an alien that is spying on this planet...I'm sitting there with the stereo blaring (In my midnight blue, with tinted windows minivan and it has a kick ass stereo, that is my favorite part)...rocking out to the Dance Hall Crashers "I don't wanna Behave" and I looked around at all the suburban white Pepole staring wide eyed at my bouncing loud van. I was the only person in the car. I was acting like a teenager...I had a chopstick holding up my hair and I needed to fix it. So ...(BTW the Petco over on canyon...has THE LONGEST light to change I have ever had to live thru) and I had this random thought....if the world ended tomorrow...I could use almost anything that was long and flat or round, to keep my hair up...that would be easy to find anywhere...I therefore perfectly concluded that I could survive the end of the world...because I would be able to keep my hair out of my eyes, easily.
Sometimes I use a pens, pencils, chopsticks (favorite because they make a good weapon too...Just try to jump me Mutha) paintbrushs (a wet one only one time....ok twice...shut up) We have a long handled with a tiny bowl silver spoon that I found in a thrift store that I sometimes find and use...but chopsticks and big pens are my two most often used...I usually have at least one of those in the car or studio.
So do you think it's strange that I accessed my confiedence level on my ability to survive of the end of the world based on my easy care hair?

hmmmmm, I have been working like mad on my little man's birthday present...I'm gonna take pic's in a little bit...so I'll post, it's my first theme style dragon...I did it all tribal in black and red, but not scary, I mean he is cool, and tough, but still 7. I hid the number 7 in the painting...not too hard...re-read last reasoning....and anyway it's so farking cool, I could poop myself. I am going to paint another one asap. The other two boys...16, and 8, both saw it in the WIP stages...and have started wooing me for their own...but the little one is dying...he's begged in every imaginable way to see it...wait till he opens all his art supplies and the paint by numbers kit I made for him to copy the dragon...or I mean I will finish making to day...which reminds me I'm late for Work! The day has begun without me....farking time! ARRRGHHHH....stop the world, I missed my optimal personal hygiene moment....Crap....Where's that chopstick?
BE Bold!

So I have that, and I have to catch up on my "day job" and I have to get Max to another child's birthday party, and back and finnish max's work, plus bake the cake, and start the decorations, and not go completly insane....I can see the insane part is going to be hard today....HELP! Send clones...or robots...fark I don't care...I need another set of hands and an extra head.
OMG! another day in paradise.
Well...gotta go be chipper, and work my ever increasingly smaller ass off.
Wish me luck.
More from the front lines later...if I'm not back in 15 minutes, call in the troops...nevermind...they come with shoot to kill orders...it's not that bad I guess...I'll swim.

Top: Peace spread from the middle of the night last night


This is the Warrior Spread from yesterday/ last night...

I am working on the next ones....And painting a special painting for my Mr. "Almost seven year old in three days MOM"!......Son, who has requested something just for him that never will to be sold. I'm gonna miss it when he stop's talking like that, and yes I correct it...but I secretly resent having to do it. *artist is now contemplating what the hell sleep is actually really needed for? Oh yeah, that insanity thing.*
Ok the top spread come together last night while burning off steam from having like, can I just say...OMG!!!!!..kind of DAY.I literately put my feet on the ground at 4:30 am and 15 minutes later was at work, and then stopped at 7 to make lunches, wake and love my children into human acceptable standards, then back to work at 8:30...While consulting on the phone, painting the warrior spread...And then off at 12:30...Take the middle dare devil, is trying to give me a freaking heart attack, accident waiting to happen, *whew* child into to find out if he had broken his collar bone...And then back home for what I thought was going to be 2 hours of me time...But turned into a 30 minutes art session, and the household monthly budget and gift buying funds...yadda-yadda...Then off to pick up something for dinner, back and eating at 5 pm...Spent quality time "educating " my heathen children how to use soap and water in the shower...And dry off before you try to put on your clothes...Homework...6:30 to 7:30 a most wonderful fun phone call from a new friend, finished warrior while talking and also scanned and posted last nights journal pages from the day before...then went to bed and had terrific fun with Mate Man *double whew*...Then at 9pm sneak out to the studio to create the peace spread in about 1 hour...then stumble thru the incredibly dark house, and fell asleep around midnight...after doodling the next painting I am working on.
So today wasn't so bad..Leisurely even. I am going to wrap this up because I only have about 30 minutes left before the What's for dinner question starts...and I hate that question.
Be bold!
