February 10, 2022 – Checking My Art at The Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas

No new sales for a bit now at the Old Bakery & Emporium, but given an epic pandemic death rate December into late January ( and continuing at an unacceptable rate even now ), the colleges and schools keeping students off campus til just lately, an almost as bad winter storm as last year ( but not quite thank goodness! ), and a boil water notice that shut down a lot of the restaurants – it’s no surprise hardly a soul was strolling by anywhere downtown.

Still, the work looks good, the pandemic is again abaiting, students ( with their families and friends along to visit ) are return to the many colleges here, the winter storm has passed, the boil water notice has expired, and SXSW is returning next month.

And Sheila and I are doing relatively well.

So I’ll settle for that 😊 ❤️

Stay well everyone! Keep faith!! 💕

  It’s a welcome surprise to realize how rich one’s life experience can be, even within seemingly single short time frames themselves! I feel this new small study, with its misty soft blues and distant vistas is a nice reflection of that.

  I wasn’t sure when to stop but my own waves of self, conscious of the need to rest joined the earth before me, an image shaped by pigments from itself.
