I have started a new series of Nude in Ink with a Red Towel on Rice Paper. I love the movement of ink on rice paper. These small paintings are mounted on 140 lb. watercolor paper.

I spent yesterday drawing and painting,. This morning I got the photos taken and listed the above ACEO on GalleryJuana.etsy.com.

I should really be getting ready to go to the gym, but I am still stting on my buttocks working on the web. Why do I grumble my way to the Gym? I always feel better once I have started exercising. Pulling myself away from my happy, little art studio in my house is always difficult. Lately, I have been so focused on my art that it is effecting my sleeping habits and my day job. This week I am going to put a daily plan together. I need to stay focused yet balanced. How do you stay balanced?

I have a great series on time managemnt on my blog. I think proper time management is a good way to stay balanced.
I find it tremendously difficult to stay balanced. The best way for me is to prioritize everything, and just deal with it that way.

See...that's the problem! Staying balanced is so hard! I injured my dominant hand this week - finger in a splint, can't work! Mom said it was God telling me to slow down and chill on etsy for a week. So, what did I do? Re-photograph everything in my shop! So much for balance!

Thanks for all your comments. Time management is something I need to work on.

I hardly balance everything well at once. I am usually dropping the ball somewhere.
I try to keep a daily to do list and follow it. Sometimes the same task will get moved from one day to the next and take weeks to be accomplished.
This is just what a certain personality type does and we're it.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
