“Art takes time, time is money, money scarce and that ain’t funny!”

Ray Davies and me

Sunday March 17th barely into my second cup of coffee  I was the guest of Cristina Querrer for her yourartsygirl podcast

Cristina is a multi discipline verbal and visual artist I met at ArtSpace Norwich Ct. She adds some history to me and the process to becoming a Photographic Artist. During the interview a window kept opening telling me my connection was unstable I thought so what me to,  perhaps why I sound…. Listen and decide how I sound.

Early spring temps soar to the 60’s on Saint Patrick’s Day to the eighties as the week progressed. I strolled around 1. 25 miles round the neighborhood. A very long walk for me these days.  

March 17,2019

So now I’m ready for my for my close up. Wednesday March 20th I appeared in a video for Homes First  my excellent landlord. The video was created by Media Marketing Solutions my apartment became a set. “Real Artists of Western Washington” A great biographical sketch of me and how I ended up here in Olympia and how much I like where I live. Brandon and his crew created a real, relaxed atmosphere. I’m looking forward to the finished video. Premiering soon Black Tie I’m sure, really it will be on Homes First site in a bit. 

On the 20th it was a bad breathing day, as they set up I was making sauce is short bursts 5 minutes to sit down repeat. Stress is apparently quite a trigger for COPD. Stress not related to the video  but sitting in my chair lights camera action I’m on. Those of you who know me and have been experienced [been subjected] to my story telling know we ran long. I look forward to seeing the finished project.  If it isn’t raining I walk daily, not far on the 20th enough to see and create around the property where my apt. is located.   

Patty’s garden is inspirational a painting of the Earth by Patty and the Earth.

Color and light a four season exhibit a few paces down the walk. A friend who sees. 

Around by the garage by the back walk new life springs from old. This stump now a host for other new life.

A bit of slightly over saturated leaves in our sidewalk garden. They will be this rich in a month I couldn’t wait. Then there is the age old photographers problem. If there is bird shit on a leaf do you leave it or clean it and now with all the tech do you use a tissue with a bit of spit or photoshop?
