Friends, if your creative juices need a boost, and you’re open to some truly out of the box thinking, please may I introduce you to Kalu Putic

His specialty is trash fashion and he will blow your mind

Not suitable for “follow the rules” and “color inside the lines” friends - y’all skip this one 🥰

This is for my spicy juicy messy creative friends, cuz he will shake you up. A few pics here. Look him up on the TT, prob other places too. Make this your Artist’s Date 🎨

I yelled out loud at the one w the shoes, startling my dogs, “WHAT did you DO with those SHOES?!?!” 🤗 for like 5 mins in awe & admiration at his boundless creativity

(Struggling w your creativity? Here’s a trick I love. Look at an account like this of someone “successful”, but start w the oldest image. See how he didn’t have it all together yet? See how he just started, and it developed over time? Also I loved watching how his collection, behind him on that wall, grew w every post. That’s it! We do the work! We keep focused and building! You’ve got this!)

Some days just feel like too much. Where do you go to ground yourself?

For me when I can’t even paint, I go to the garden or the campfire.

Tonight, for the first fire of the spring season, I’m cheered back to life by the spring peepers, the Canada geese honking, and the crackling of the wee fire.

I already feel like I can breathe again.

I've heard from people recently who deeply miss their time living here in Vermont. I understand that. It's why I live here ~ I can't imagine living anywhere else. And, I believe Vermont, or anyplace we once loved, can also be a trap.

Even if we went back to that beloved place now, it would never be or feel the same. Because we're longing for something we once had - the best memories we cherish. The truth is, that moment has passed.

So now, we have only one decision to make. Will we bring the best of ourselves into this present moment? or not? That's it. That's all we get.

So, if we loved that place, and those times (leaving aside that we can't go back and be younger again!) is there one thing, or feeling, or activity, or emotion, that we loved so much in that place, that we're willing to commit ourselves to re-creating it here, now, where we are?

Can we be the ambassador of that quality, to our new place? After all, we're the one that lived it! Maybe we're the perfect person, and maybe now is the perfect time, to bring that to our new friends, our new neighbors, our new life. Can you show them how? Can you be the seed?

Light switch covers are a great way to introduce a bit of color and art and beauty into your everyday life. Attention to detail is important to make it last and look great. These are for my client - think she’ll be happy w them?

Do you most love nights when our moon is out? Or do you prefer the super dark no-moon nights, so you can see stars and planets better?

I love it both ways ~

I have always loved the moon's company. I remember times as a teen, struggling through something and taking a walk at night out in fields where we lived, after it snowed, and the full moon lit the entire field up like daylight, and that moon was like a companion I could cry and yell to, and not feel so alone.

And then, especially on nights with meteor showers, it's so great when the moon is in a dark phase, so the sky is blacker than black, and seems to reach out forever, and every planet and star seems to be so close you can reach out and pluck it!

I created a few of these sun/moon paintings this past week. Folks on my mailing list got first dibs to sn**ch them up at a super budget price. (I always love to give the folk on my list the best deal on everything and first chance at everything)

Today they're available to you ~ dm me or comment below which one you want - all 5 are listed in the comments w price and info

Happy moon bath and sunshine to you!

I got a Canvas Lamp for Christmas, and it holds my phone right above my artwork, leaving my hands free to paint, shining great light down on my desk, and making the photos and video shots so easy and clear.

At some point I will get an affiliate link together, so that if you buy one from my recommendation, I make a buck or two from them. But I just want you to know about it, so this is just a heads up because I love it so much.

You can find them - see the pic for where. Really, if you make art and want to share it with the world, you need one of these.

Cheers to happy creating, everyone!

I'm so excited! Just ordered a lamp for videoing overview videos of art-making. And I made a video for you of how I chose between the Canvas lamp and the Olivia 2 from Paparazzi.

I'd love to know if you have one or the other, and how you decided between them. My story is in the comment.
