LESSONS AS OF LATE (1/17/17)

It is hard to explain the differences I see in my work in Reno vs Olympia. There's a level of hunger and daily craft discipline  I'm experiencing with my time here in Olympia that I hadn't thought or pursued possible in Reno. 
I'm making bolder choices, working every day, trusting in my gut, and unafraid of ''errors.'' I'm gathering input from every source, filing it inside me, and welcoming the insight of my studio-mate and lovely Babeduder. I'm learning to paint with the gray light of day here and am excited to take this struggle and lesson in natural light back to my future Reno studio. 
Here are some lessons as of late:

• being hungry financially, creatively, and physically is not a bad thing
• gray sky is still sky and I can work with that
• digest the advice you give others
• there are only happy accidents
• Bob Ross is the only portrait tattoo I'd consider getting
• small amounts of marijuana combat my anxieties
• large amounts of marijuana nail me to my bed and remove my drive
• balance is good
• beautiful craftsmanship comes in all shapes and sizes
• just as much as people surprise you, they won't
• the mortality rate of my friends is increasing 
• the procreation rate of my friends is increasing
• i need a dog
