A Shift In The Air.........

Their is a shift in the air.........
Nothing is for ever and forever we try to hold on to except the things that are likely to change ......I look, I feel and I am for ever changing and shifting like the rain that takes away the bad air. The old habits of yesterday years and guided by the wind that flows to bring forth the good air........
Being thus thankful for what comes forth to gain a new day, a new perspective, a new challenge to better  my self to better others in my path in a new brilliance of light of knowing its all going to be OK!

True Friends Who Might they Be?





I am so lucky to have such good honest, funny, eccentric, smart, with a heart of gold that are always good looking to me. To those of you who are my friends Thank you for being a part of my life and adding a spark of joy to it and being supportive to me through all my low and highs through being understanding and patient with me. 

1. A good friend is honest.
A good friend may not share every detail of every second of their life, but they do try to be clear about their intentions. This means that they try to present an accurate picture of who they are and of different situations. When something doesn't seem right, they let you know.

2. A good friend is fun, unique and interesting.
OK, this is a given, and probably the reason you became friends in the first place. But there's a lot to be said for chemistry and shared interests.
As for fun, it depends how you define it: Some friends are fun because they're the life of the party, others are fun because they notice every strange little detail about a situation. Some people are fun simply because they see life like no one else does.
3. A good friend is attentive and adaptable.
A good friend is at least a fairly good listener and notices how little, day-to-day things affect you. They can't read your mind, but chances are they can usually tell when you're happy, sad, excited, shocked or upset. If they're aware that they're doing something that annoys you, they try to change their ways or at least talk to you about it.
4. A good friend is supportive of you and your goals.
Sure, your friend may think you're cool, but are they on the same page as you? Do they know what you want most out of life? A really good friend will know what makes you tick and help you become the person you want to be. They won't try to change who you are or drag you into situations that make you uncomfortable or put you at risk of losing something that matters to you.
5. A good friend is a friend you can trust.
A true friend won't try to steal your girlfriend or boyfriend, your job or your personality. They won't gossip about you constantly or try to damage your reputation. They will let you know when they're concerned and do their best to stick up for you when you're in trouble.
6. A good friend makes it clear that they care about you.
Different people may have different ways of letting you know that they care about you. One person may give you a big hug whereas another person might gently tease you. A big clue that someone cares is that they talk to you fairly often and, in general, know what's going on in your life and act interested about it.
7. A good friend sticks with you in good times and bad.
Loyalty is a quality almost everyone lists when asked what they look for in a friend. A loyal friend will stick with you when your new play is a flop, when you bomb the SATs or when your parents get divorced. If you move or switch schools, they'll do their best to stay in touch with you.
8. A good friend accepts you for who you are, even when you're being a butthead.
In friendship, being accepting goes hand in hand with being loyal. A true friend rolls with the punches as you grow and change and know how to deal with your quirks and faults.
They are also patient with you when you make mistakes -- even big ones -- and learn how to forgive you when you hurt them. In other words, they treat you as you'd like to be treated, even when you aren't at your best.

The Universe

No amount of skillful invention can replace the essential element of imagination!

The universe is real but you cant see it.
You have to imagine it!
Once you imagine it, you can be realistic about reproducing it!

Emergency Visit on Vacation

Nothing worse than you finally get a vacation before your birthday and you end up in the emergency room over a toe! Blisters seem to be one of my worst enemy and creates all kinds of problems. This one was on my right foot next to my big toe created an infection that was going up my leg with a red line! I had all kinds of things planned the last thing I ever thought of doing was going to the emergency room. I had planned so many things to do since I got my new bike. But perhaps the universe just wanted me to stay put and get prepared for the next 4 months of study and work. Bummed I wanted so much but movies till midnight and chopping on sun flower seeds seem the best way my mind was able to get away. Tomorrow is my first day back to work and school which I know I will have to study and cram.
My worry is that I will not have enough time to dedicate to my real love (painting). But knowing I must support it I know I have to work my ass off to afford to do it. And so I will ! You must do the things you can not do!

Artist and Clutter


Artist and Clutter
Well who ever said that artist is ever so neat and tidy. I sometimes worry about artists that are so neat and tidy always having every thing so orderly. My own personal ability to keep things that way requires many things. I will have to throw out every thing I own and hire a maid I cannot afford. And I probably would not be an artist to begin with. I work, sleep, eat, study, pay bills, try to heal, tutor, as well as take care of 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bird, 7fishes and shower here and let alone do my creations. I try to give it my all, only to find out that 2 days latter I have to do it all over again. Dealing with the interruption of phone calls, emails, etc…..of drama that accruing right out of the blue. Maintaining this chaos is draining but rewarding at the same time because through it all I gain a sense of strengths to keep on with my creative works. You see through it all something through it shines of beautiful worlds of color. And for that moment that in that state of mind we care less about that drop of paint fell where? To I think I can add that piece that we tucked away for a rainy day for today. You see knowing we may not have money when spirit calls us to create become of no worry because we are prepared. Like an earthquake or some other cataclysmic thing that might and yes the word might happen. Don’t get me wrong I think that we must do this but moderately. Best advice if you cannot remember where it is and you forget you had it and don’t think or not going to use it.
Give it to someone else to give it to. Learn to share! Don’t worry remember when you need something it will come back to you!  It’s the law of the universe we artist understand what that’s about. When no one wants it then you can or throw it away all together with no regrets. But you know the toughest thing about it I find is the time to do it. But when you do! Its like I have in the past it really feels good. But for artist such as my self we find that doors open to new worlds and new adventures. So don’t give up I know not going to you shouldn’t either! We could as artist to take the dive in to the world of possibilities of some state of a clear mind.

Old Friends
I have been thinking about those who have come in and out of my life through out the years. Those whom have remained to become friends I must say I have been very blessed. Perhaps we may not see them for a while or even years. But some how they really touched your heart perhaps even through a small jester or kind word.  But for some reason I seem to remember when ever the first encounter came I recall their smile. We never want anything to happen to them and when they do we want to be there for them at lest I do. Money cannot buy you friends my father once told me but it can buy you acquaintances when the money runs out they do too. But your friends you are lucky you can count more than one on one hand. I always wondered if I was ever going to be lucky enough when I got older that I could have a true friend who would be their if I really needed them.  I wish he was still here on this earth to report to him that I believe I have more than I ever thought I would.  Just that I do not see them all the time but I do find time to talk to them weekly. I have a friend that we talked every day I really enjoyed talking to him even if we got in to drag out arguments demanding that one of us was right about the stupidest topic. Funny how you come a cross that road with someone that you think is going to be around for a long time. Then like a lighting bolt things just are not the same anymore and your too busy to even want to take the call anymore. Then when things come down a bit you realize you miss them but you don’t want to tell for fear their ego might go straight out to the moon. So you learn to slip away into a world of few words. I gather that although I may not see my friend nor talk the way we used to because of our busy lives being pulled in so many directions. I will always think of him through his smile when I really need a friend and that Old Friends at lest for me are still considered to be my dearest friends.

PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING ART


Put your money where your mouth is, when it comes to art and claiming that it going to benefit to do a benefit or a fundraiser amongst the rich and famous. The majority wants it free or cheaper than the average poor folk. They may act like their interested in purchasing giving you a song and dance having you do bids for them wasting your time so they can look important best advice do not waste your time going after them. I find it the ones who really buy works of art may in fact be just the passer buyers and the chances of someone who is rich and famous want to invest they want it to pay off latter by selling it when you go up in the art world very rarely do they buy it because it moves them. I have been screwed by most of them I have worked with spending money,energy and time I should have not spend in trying to convince them to purchase my art. In LA it is a hard sell these days for artist in fact in this market it’s hard on all of us. We are all scrabbling to support our creations to even make more. I gather it’s kind of a good thing though it will weed out the want to bees who are younger and made profit but the test of time of endurance and strengths to support their art can weaken them cause to not wanting to continue. Thus leaving it to the ones that have earned the rights to those who have endured for years making and sharing their art for purchase. However it is the responsibility is the artist who makes it available to the population. Which can be difficult on its own merit with the montage of over visualization coming from media and advertising that confuses the public with the pureness of artistic creations. It may be more than difficult at times weeding through it all for our works to find a place where it stands out on their own merit but with persistence we can achieve the difficult task of finding homes for our creations who are our children. That we have given the breath of life into them for you should Never Ever give Up on Your artistic creations! And you should never cheapen them by selling your works cheaper just because they are rich and famous. How do think they got their in the first place anyway?
