Weekly Summary - April 23 2021

I'm running behind today so I'm going to try to keep this shorter than usual, and just include a short video review of what I worked on over the week. I've been considering modifying the format to focus on what I painted and use more images instead of words. (Last week here if you're curious.) I'm struggling with life again here at the end of the week due to not sleeping again, dammit. I went to the doctor last week and have been taking generic Ambien for about a week. It was helping me fall asleep easily, but now I'm struggling to stay asleep. I'm...

Weekly Summary - April 16 2021

Well this week has been a lot! I have not been productive in the studio as I was dealing with terrible insomnia and some days I felt barely able to function. So this week I have to count simply surviving as an accomplishment! (Last week's accomplishments & carefully made plans here.) I write these first thing Friday morning, and I'm usually worn out from the week. My brain struggles to remember exactly what I did all week. Yesterday I got smart though & took a few notes to help kick start this post today. So while I did not paint...

Weekly Summary - April 9 2021

We're back for our continuing weekly adventures in art and business progress! (Last week here.) This past week was not art-ful. I was feeling unmotivated and out of creativity due to spending so much of last month on social media, and not seeing huge results. I've been meeting with a free Score mentor for the last few months and we came up with a (seemingly) great idea last time: a marketing calendar to prevent being surprised by holidays & events I could base my posts around. I wrote out what days I would post and what topics in a monthly spreadsheet, and then...

Weekly Summary - April 2 2021

This week I was very busy with all 3 of my jobs so I didn't spend as much time painting, and did not accomplish my goals from last week. But I'm ok with that! I was still quite productive on the business side of my art biz.  I skipped one day of daily painting and spent it on working on my marketing content instead. I try to write and schedule my social media content at least a week ahead of time so I can do it in batches. I use a tool called Hootsuite for this...but yesterday I woke up to...
