Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your turkey is moist and your gravy is lump free!

STILL PLUGGING ALONG.

I had another retinal tear and I'm two days post op from that. My eye looks like a horror movie, but I'm still painting because fuck my limitations RIGHT IN THE (other) EYE. This is day 13 of a 30 day painting practice.

I'm ok. <3

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

In order to get used to having new lenses in my eyes + a retinal reattachment surgery (dude, they burned my retina back onto my eyeball in my ONLY GOOD EYE LEFT!) I've been doing a daily ten minute painting practice.

Thank youuuuuuu. <3

Eye woes, more surgery, work slammed, the world, etc. <3 It's good to be back.

HI CHIVON!

Hi.

Did you miss me?

Thanks, y'all! <3

Eyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!! :)

Finally used to my lens implants enough to paint without going cross-eyed. No, I'm not kidding. That was actually happening. :D #artist #mixedmediaart

I've been navigating the world as it is while NOT DRINKING THROUGH IT. <3 I know you understand.

Hi! I'm alive. I'm still sober. I've been resistant to filming (I teach mixed media art journaling via video lessons) because there is NO AC IN MY WORK SPACE, but I MUST film today due to deadlines. So of course the landscapers are here to sing the song of their people. *Sighs*

YouTube video by Effy Wild Finishing A Painting

I finished up a painting and filmed it, too. Sometimes, the making happens when I'm on a tight deadline, but I can always circle back after the lesson is released and do what I would have done had I had time!

This is what that looks like.

She's unfinished, I think. What would you do with her?
