MY Walking Observation

2020 was a year...

Yes, 2020 is a year that will be in history for a very long time. So much happened and so many things changed. For some this was a devastating year, or should I say, for most. For me as I was on staff at a non-profit organization, my quarantine time was 6+ weeks of no pay but it was not a time to be bored. In 2020 I started to practice my drawing of which I am not that great at. I took a 100 page blank journal and drew every morning prior to work and every evening when I got home. I would pull up Google images and try to draw them and I would practice by watching TV. My idea is if I could get the dimensions and expressions down drawing faces, then dimensions would not be so hard on other subjects. When I would get tired of the learning process, I would go back to practicing on flowers. To my surprise, both subjects were getting better and better. 100 pages in 40 days and at that point, I started to illustrate flowers on 8.5 x 11 " card stock with a fine felt pen. By t

I'm re-visiting the 80's

I am sitting at my desk with a wonderful view of the ocean contemplating what my next move is. I have relaunched my hand-painted T's and plotting how to get them out there. Marketing has changed a bit but the old ways still hold true, word of mouth and face to face sales.

I do market on these social media platforms but I also know that my product can be an emotional buy. A woman (or significant other) sees them, feels something and buys. This has been my marketing model for a very long time. I sold these hand painted t shirts 30 years ago, my style has evolved and they are fresh to the new person and a wonderful memory to those who bought 30 years ago. The flower I paint is the Hula Lani

Men over 50, more so at over 60 who intently watch the gals walking by...but let me say....they never get out of thier seat to maybe meet that gal walking by or who might be across the room. I have a couple ideas about this interesting behavior......these guys are LAZY! Is this what happens when you reach this stage in your life? Look with no action? Don't get me wrong, this is just my walking observation... From years past, to today... Men at one table and women at the other. Today's observation, 3 middle age men looking intently out the window I am sitting in from of. I turned around to see what was so interesting...sure enough a gal in a tight pair of pants strolling by... When she gets out of eye site, they go back and again focuses on their Chess Game. I guess sense I turned s_x_y I have o
