I love your passion and your heart. I love that you are putting your anger into creating something and saying something. One of my little boys almost died in my arms with us covered in his blood because

Oh my gosh, I'm laughing, shaking my head yes, and relating to so much of what you said! Shows me that I've got fellow travelers wondering the same things that I do! Love it.

Oh that is an epic idea - Bali!! Seriously?! How cool would that be. Now I'm really dreaming. Next amazing trip...time to research! And your harassing has worked because @lukes.random has forwarded your

Actually, I would love help with the crypto stuff. I love @lukestokes stuff (and he is family - love you, Luke!), and he's been super encouraging, but I have to admit, I don't understand about 75% of his

Thanks, @suitcasemama! You absolutely should come visit next time you're in CA! We have a fun swingset for @suitcasebaby to play on and lots of toys too. We'll barbeque and we'll make you a meal from our

Thanks so much. I really liked the light in that space, which is why I wanted to convert it into an art studio. It has these funky opaque windows that spread the light all around. They are super old and

Oooh that's a good idea! That would eliminate a lot of nail holes in the walls. I wonder what height I would do that at? I've thought about using some gallery hanging rods at the top of the long wall so

Well said, and well thought out. I'm really enjoying your "perspective/motivational" articles. They are such good reminders. I was even sharing info from your recent "Lion" article

The finished studio will be 15 feet by 6 feet - enough space for a large workspace, art supply storage closets and lots of canvases. It's exactly what I need for right now. Maybe someday I'll have a larger

You've been busy! Lot's of good stuff going on! I'll have to follow @silvertogold. Very cool. Tell her I say hi next time you talk to her! I'm scheming about a Thailand trip...

I'm back at it!! Having fun, learning, reading.

Haha, that's great! I love that movie too - my little guys like it too, so we can all watch it together. Now I've got chim-chimney music in my head. Heehee.

Haha! I know about the Thai food in SoCal - sounds funny to someone in Thailand! - I'll take what I can get until we can fly over and get the real deal!

HI! It's good to be back. And, Yay! I'm glad you like the wave painting! That one was requested by a buyer on the other side of the country - very cool for me. Maybe I'll have to make you a wave that's

I thought this was a really interesting perspective. I like how you broke it down into groups from your perspective and experience. A lot of what you said seems to play out again and again, and I've seen

I LOVE the painting of the woman! So many interesting things going on in that painting - a bit of storytelling or at least room for the imagination to create one. Very cool! I think learning the structure

These are really nice figure drawings. You can see the skill level involved - not everyone has the gift to be able to draw like this. And I think you're right, drawing directly is such a different process

This is a cool real-world experiment. Very helpful and interesting to see in simple, practical ways what is happening. I'm trying to learn so that I can intelligently invest, and posts like this are helpful

Oh this is so cool! I love this very comprehensive look at who you are and where you've come from! Makes me happy. Good stuff.

Thought provoking for me. I tend to do most things myself, but that can be very limiting with regards to time, skill set, etc. I'm learning more about delegating, and this has certainly challenged my thinking
