🐱Peeko with my white jasmine flower art (not one I’d submitted) Today I entered a couple of my own original paintings into the Boston Museum of Fine Arts Exhibition for Abstract Art.

Why All the Sagittarius Birthday Wishes?: A Reflection on Self and Soul
There is something I found last year, and although I am not serious about astrology as if it were a religion to me, I enjoy the patterns it suggests in life as a kind of artwork. I find it very accurate in many ways. I had found in my life great, deep healing in the […]

“Acknowledgment”
“Acknowledgment” by Jade Nicole Beals (poem read) Because I wanted to surprise you with my contrast to the idea that not everyone you meet in the day wants to give you something—make you a cup of coffee, or tea with a teaspoon of fresh tea leaves, show you my art originals. I have a ton […]

Care Cat, Teddie, and the Moon and Stars Pocket
…🐱Peeko and 🧸Teddie, ‘This is a very serious meeting’ a highly confidential meeting at the coffee table. 🙂 Peeko looks like he is trying to copy Teddie’s stance, and with his own classic ‘Peeko pout’ for effect.

One Question
—What do you enjoy besides painting or writing or the fine arts? One thing: I really like fashion; I will need to find an outfit for a “Glam Christmas party” I received an invite to, and casual fashion is fashion too; I’d not heard of an event like that. But I like it. I got […]

3 Things to Do Today in Balance

‘What’s made you feel better today?’ (Have you seen your own face?… It is so aglow)…‘Hm, I don’t know…’ (…Radiant, I think your smile has lit up my smile. Yes, this remedy is working well.) (a tanka poem, from my haiku and tanka collection, may be a future project; they are a longer haiku)

Homemade Products for Healing and Rest: Showcasing…Pillow and Moisturizer
UPDATE: I found over time this pillow is too hard for me personally, even if I’d enjoyed the design / stability. I would like to sleep on a cotton pillow; I’ve found how / where you place your head on a pillow can allow you more space and comfort. This pillow may be good for […]

A New Lamp Shade (To Be Shown Next Time)
The missing part with the very dim lampshade: a metal fastener that goes right around the light bulb socket and now allows a lampshade with the corresponding washer size to attach to this current lamp base! A frosted lightbulb is another option to use for a calmer light, and I will also look for a […]

So what does this do? I wanted to share with you what it looks like inside…It’s been mostly small ways of decorating. There’d been a question from myself to myself: Why am I not really sitting or outside on the balcony on beautiful days? —I realized I just wanted a small pillow for the back […]

Drawing and Portraits, What Artists Might Like to Draw with

Drawing, sketching, and painting all enhance each other and develop different artist skills, while each creates a different artwork or result. I drew May Ziadeh with pencil in my pocket sketchbook…I loved to do that, and I […]

…Storybook Yoga with Monet
(Monet and his paintings, 1923, colorized, credit: openculture) After awhile of living and painting many garden lily pond scenes outside his home in France, the artist Claude Monet became enthralled with the ocean. He wanted to paint it as he saw it and would get as close to it as possible with his paintbrush and […]
