Still going through the layering process. A few of them are close to completion, but just need some tweaking to give it more presence or pop. You’ll see! The others still need a lot more work.

One thing good about a slow retail month, I have a lot of time to work on my art. Yay!!! Now is the time to stop by for a visit…my walls are full!!! 🙏🏼✨💜

Thought I better start saving all my random scribblings. I’ve used a few before in my artwork, but now I’m looking at them through fresh eyes and seeing their mottainai potential.

These were created today as I was testing different brush and pen widths and checking out the ink flow. No thought in mind, just doodling, with no intention of seeing any use for them. Most artist would just throw these away. 😁 What do you think…trash them, or save them?

With Buddhist Church of San Francisco – I'm on a streak! I've been a top fan for 13 months in a row. 🎉

I was surprised when two friends commented that I should frame my large scribbles I posted three days ago. Since I didn’t have the confidence that I could sell it if I framed it, I decided to do a 5x7 compromise.

I thought this kinda ornate frame I had spray painted black was a nice compliment to the squiggly lines and bolder brush strokes. Since the painting looked chaotic I decided to hand letter some positive and calming words within the composition. You need to look closely to see them.

I still think it’s a hard sell, but you just never know. 7 1/4” x 9 1/4” outside frame dimensions, and currently priced at $85. Message me if interested. It really looks better when you view it in my shop. Stop by to see the growing collection of wabi sabi art. Arigato! 🙏🏼✨💜

Reserved! YAY!!! 🙏🏼
