Me, again

Various purchases for the first quarter of the year and beyond Once I finally figure out what I want in life ironically at an age closing in on retirement, and how I'm going to get it (not that I'm not enjoying the present and my present day  self-presented presents );  maybe I'll waste less time on things that don't really matter (and they’re not only material) and be more purposeful in life (not that I don't really walk with intent). Basically, I just really like to reward myself in any way, shape or form as self-care or self-love because I feel I deserve them to function properly in life (but that's our little secret, eh?) So now, for as long as I am sufficiently  ambulatory 😂 , progressively artistic 👩🏼‍🎨, consistently consistent ( like hot, melted beurre ) 🧈and continually self-inspired; what's to worry about?

Here’s my digital take on Avatar’s The Way of Water Metkayina Royalty feat Ronal and Tonowari. I don’t think I’ve ever seen more artistic faces on screen than in Avatar! Gr8!!! Cezanne's  ...

  Dendrobiums Sampaguitas (Jasmin) Tulips Carnations All commissioned. All done! I loved doing these, by the way.  And if painting flowers is all I will ever do till the end of my days, then I will be perfectly happy.  But this is not all true as I would love to draw and paint faces, figures, animals and other subjects that actually pique my interest which is wide and diverse. And isn’t this the essence of art…to excite one’s senses into having a life of creativity with one artwork done forging the next and subsequent ones?
