Back at it

So I started exercising again today.  I always start shortly after Thanksgiving and go until....about....oh - end of April.  During this period design work is slow so I have more time than usual to include other activities into my life - like exercising.  I'll switch off between the streets of the Avenues and the gym and go 5-6 times a week.  Running, lifting, yoga, whatever really.  Cheers to this time of year!

I am thinking I should start practicing my violin or banjo or guitar everyday as well - just 15-30 minutes to keep the fingers loose you know.  Plus, it's probably good for my brain or something.

Other than that - I'll be dedicating more time to each painting I do for TLP so that I have more paintings like that of last week.  People liked that one and so did I.  Well, I like all of them.  It took me about 8.5+ hours to produce that little 6x6" square!  So next time you think original art is overpriced, think again!  (okay, some artists really do overprice their stuff, but you find that in any field).  I am realizing that being a painter is totally not lucrative - it's going to take that one lucky day when someone wealthy decides my art is worth buying, and because they buy it, other wealthy people figure they should too.  Until then, I'll keep practicing!

If I could ride a bright lemon-yellow bicycle right now, I gladly would.
