Recently I was looking through some of my old photos and found a series of sketches I did 10 years ago... I’m pretty sure I did this on a lunch break at some “real job”. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wait...what do I mean by “real job”?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, someone else was telling me what do to and when it was due and during which hours I needed to work on it...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always dreamed of steering my own kayak, making my own schedule, and running a business like the smart and capable I knew I could be. And now that’s just what I’m doing. High five!! </div>

It doesn’t mean that every day is the BEST DAY EVER or that I still don’t get nervous about the future, but girrrlllll, it is a much better way to run a life. I am building something so much more in line with my goals and my soul. I’m proud of where I am and super psyched about where I’m going.</div>

I’ve been traveling for the last couple of weeks, and now I’m back, hitting the ground running! I’ve got a lot of new classes coming up, including an entire series at the YMCA in Hornell, NY. So excited!<br />
<br />
I’m also prepping my talk to a group of teenagers in Elmira...I’m trying to channel my inner Tony Robbins. Yes yes yes!! (Booming voice!)<br />
<br />
...and then there are the 2 “secret for now” projects I’m producing. I can’t wait to chat about these with you...stay tuned!<br />

Wow! It’s been a year since I opened my <a href="http://redbubble.com/people/filomenajack" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Redbubble</b></span></a> shop. I really can’t believe it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took a long time to find the best platform for me to use. I looked at Society 6 and really tried to make it work...it just didn’t. But Redbubble has been great! And I thank all of y’all for supporting my endeavors. Mmmwahhh!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I could I would send everyone a gift card or special coupon code or something...unfortunately Redbubble won’t allow that. I created this store so that more people would have the opportunity to live with (and in!) art. I know my paintings don’t fit into everyone’s budget, but most folks can treat themselves to a $2 sticker or a new mug. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, thank you thank you thank you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay tuned for more designs to be added to my shop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wow! There is A LOT of art going on! My mantra/dream/re-occurring hope was to have a Life Full of Art. I can say that I have accomplished just that. I find that I have to force myself to step away from all things art every few days (weeks?). Between teaching, preparing to teach, arting, publishing about arting, consulting with other artists, watching art documentaries, reading arty books, listening to arty podcasts...<br />
<br />
Let’s just agree...it’s a lot. And I love it! Mostly. Like 98%. The other 2%? Grown up stuff like taxes, technology issues, and (ugh!) framing. I feel proud that I’ve been able to extend my arty reaches and look forward to where the future takes me.<br />
<br />
...Like to residencies! I just applied to my 1st one, and will be applying to more. One day I will be able to host other artists on my lovely land. Cabins full of people doing creative stuff!! Woot!<br />

I will be teaching a couple of classes at Corning Community College in March...woot! Super excited to teach folks to use their sewing machines. It can be daunting to figure out all the buttons and plugs and such. By the end of the class each student will make a zippered pouch/purse. So handy! Check out CCC and their non-credit classes for more info :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And I want to see A LOT of flowers! </div>
<br /><br />
One of my artist heroes is Ashley Longshore. Photos of her studio in New Orleans always show huge bouquets of exquisite flowers. I'm following her lead in my studio. How can you NOT be inspired with these lovelies lookin' at you all day?<br />
<br /><br />
I am having a great time working in my new studio space in Hornell. I feel really lucky to have found it!<br />

Here are a couple of paintings I started working on during my art trip in Lucca Italy. I want to create more works like this, on paper with lots of paint. My dear friend MG (also a fabu artist) says (something like): "People don't use enough paint!" She's right! Let's use ALL THE PAINT people!!

<br />
A couple of days ago I attended the <a href="http://www.nyfa.org/" target="_blank">New York Foundation for the Art</a>s "Artist/Entrepreneur Boot Camp" at their Brooklyn headquarters. Met some inspiring artists and soaked in as much good advice and encouragement as possible. I'm thinking about working with a marketing professional...it sounds so fancy! (And expensive?).<br />
<br />
Last night I attended the NYC Podcast Meetup for a session intended to help newbies like me launch a new podcast. I feel like I have a better grasp on my next steps was inspired by the content creators in the room. Smart people everywhere! <br />
<br />
Attended an opening at the <a href="http://www.paulboothgallery.com/" target="_blank">Booth Gallery</a> a few days ago. Impressive! I am loving the sculptures by <a href="http://www.ronitbaranga.com/" target="_blank">Ronit Baranga</a>.

I participated in an online meditative hypnosis session with <a href="http://www.mindvalleyacademy.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Mind Valley Academy</strong></a> led by Marisa Peer a couple of days ago. It was pretty neat. I put in my earbuds, closed the drapes, and sat back on some comfy pillows. It was relaxing and opened up some some new portals of understanding about what makes me tick. Interesting stuff!</div>

I'm also about half way through the Mindy Lacefield baby animals class (painting tutorials). I'm happy to report that my sketching abilities really seem to be advancing! High five!</div>

We were *supposed* to be painting on small 6" squares...but you know me...I always feel the need to change things up...so I'm going with 16x20" canvases LOL!<br />

I had intended for this to just be a sweet lil' puppy looking bashful, but, as you can clearly see, it looks like a sweet lil' puppy taking a poop. C'est la vie! It makes me laugh!</div>

I wonder if I'm making as much progress as I would have liked...or if perhaps my "to do" list has just morphed a bit from where I thought it would be.<br />
<br />
In the last couple of days I've started a new painting (which I don't as yet love), began work on 2 online classes (hands and baby animal portraits), partially conquered a pretty major panic point (i.e. dog parks), and began to conduct artist interviews that will become a podcast series. All while battling some wicked sinuses and artist/life glumness (and a full moon!)<br />
<br />
Oh, and technology ...still working through some new apps and software to get things rolling. One of the projects includes migrating this here blog over to Wordpress. Light a candle for me! :)<br />
<br />
That's a lot to report, right? Not bad for just 7 days! Here's to the next 2 weeks of learning!<br />
