Ethnic Fest Artwork

I’m glad I take the bus to work, instead of driving. Not that we could afford a car even if we wanted one. But the bus is so much more relaxing; just looking out the window, thinking about the weather and watching the people on the bus. I like sunny mornings, because for some reason sun bouncing off the cars on the road makes me feel like I’m on vacation, which is a nice way to start the day.

In the Garden

It’s finally summer, and yesterday we heard our first cicada. The peas are still putting out flowers, and the head lettuce isn’t going to seed yet; I think because we had such a cool and rainy June. There are hundreds of green cherry tomatoes on the vines; I’m starting to get a bit annoyed with them because they’ve been green for over a month. How long do they need to ripen, really?

Work is good, or as good as any job can be. I think I’m more suited to working from home; being around people for 8 hours a day is really tiring. So I’m slowly trying to think up things I can do from home; I’m thinking if I did a couple of different things at least one might take off and be viable, like prints, freelancing… even refinishing furniture with cool painting techniques. Of course it won’t be for a couple of years, but it’s nice to have the time to think about it without feeling the pressure to make it work ASAP.

Chickens and a red wheelbarrow

The art in this post is a painting I did for my mom’s birthday of her favorite poem about chickens and a wheelbarrow or some such, a logo for some online vitamin store (I’m not overly proud of it, but I made it more because I knew the client would like it. Bad designer!), and also a thing I did today for this ethnic fest that Anchor is sponsoring, which I think turned out pretty neat.
