Do we do anymore? I never did anything with these designs…. Should I? Would be kinda sick as a print and on a shirt… ✨🖤

Well it’s been one of the most stressful and scariest weeks of my life but we are finally turning a corner for the better so I can breathe a little bit. I worked on this acrylic shadow study yesterday before work to do something for myself; I needed to decompress my mind.

My first baby dog, my soul dog, Mickey had 2 seizures over the weekend. He’s never had a seizure before; it was terrifying, especially because he is 16 years old! He had a bad reaction to the seizure med with another med he was on, so the next 2 days were also scary and exhausting. Luckily he’s doing well now, he’s only on the new seizure medication and is adjusting. It takes 3-4 weeks for his tiny body to full adjust, so everyday is still a of extra care as he adjusts to the medicine. He’s sensitive to medication as it is and is only about 16 pounds so we are watching over him like a hawk.

I’m so grateful he’s starting to do better. It’s still a long road ahead to see how he does on this medication but I am praying for the best and have hope now that I see him on the mend. ❤️‍🩹

I’m also grateful I had a couple hours to myself to paint. I didn’t get to work on my commission or my other personal paintings this week; I just wanted to do something completely mindless. I enjoyed the acrylic study and will continue on with oil paint on her to explore adding a new mysterious and moody feel to my current paintings. I have an idea for the feeling I want but I’m not sure how to execute. This is where play and exploration come into the process.

I started my work week yesterday at the restaurant as well; I haven’t worked out either… it’s just been a whirlwind but I’m hoping I can slowly inch towards a more normal week next week.
