And these were just the oil paintings. I've also completed watercolor, Gouache, and a few digital paintings. So I have been creating but just not back to back. It's been a good year with the ending coming to a close very soon. God willing I will be there in 2019 doing better. I've returned to work at the salon.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hello Beautiful people! Happy New year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I know, I know, it's pretty much the end of January and I'm just now doing a blog post. I honestly don't believe anybody reads my blog and I figured most folks keep up with me via other social media outlets. I know, I know still no excuse.... Well I suppose you're are right. Anyway....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't quite do resolutions. I try to just set goals both short term and long term. I have a few I've set for my personal life and a few for my professional life. Truth be told they're all one and the same. My personal goals will over all help me in my professional life. Especially since being a full-time artist is most of what makes me who I am today. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So lets talk about short term. Lose 10 pounds...look I know what you're thinking but hear me out. Every time I set out to lose weight I do but I gain it all back eventually. I have never once met my target goal of 100lbs. So back in October I went vegan. I even lost 20 pounds however being a new vegan and sometimes on the struggle bus financially I wasn't armed with vegan recipes for all the holiday festivities. So I had no plan and well you know what they say about that. No plan is a plan to fail. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I am back on track with the healthy plant based life and I've added exercise to the mix. Each month the goal is to lose but I'm hoping for a 10lbs loss each month. However a loss is a loss. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next goal is to read my bible more. I am challenging myself to read a book each month. Not just read it but study it. So all though this may take longer than a month, I'm still creating the habit. Not to mention reading and going over Sunday's church service and Wednesday night's bible study and biweekly life groups. There is never too much studying of God's word. Too many times we lean on our own understanding and lying to ourselves that it was God that spoke to us. When really we've strayed from the truth and are now walking in our flesh. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Okay now the third goal is to learn more about my craft. Although I am a self taught artist and just about all the mediums I've tried I just winged it. I love working intuitively but it does create a level of anxiety, which at times has stalled me in my desire to be constantly creating. So I'm going to take advantage of websites that teach like skillshare.com someone is always offering a promo code for a 99 cent a month trial so I'm going to take advantage of that. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Fourth goal get out more. Not just errands and church obligations but actually being more social outside of social media. Not just to meet new people but to also enjoy my exsisting family and friends. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last but not least... create more content and promote promote promote. Create more vlogs for my YouTube, create more art for Instagram, write more blog post, and nurture my Patreon page. I'm done being bashful about promoting my business because I was scared I was coming off too spammy. Nope not anymore because those that are truly there for me understand that this is my livelihood. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So there it is folks in purple and white for all to see. Stay tune for my next post about my Valentines day note cards promotion. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Grace and Peace!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm so excited about the launch of my new clothing line. It's a humble start with basic pieces but once it takes off I plan to expand. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NACRMfJGZhA/Wi2PrMx-VBI/AAAAAAABNig/DZBOFofjVLUnF9W-JiCFjslFwEBkrry3ACKgBGAs/s1600/20171210_121413.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NACRMfJGZhA/Wi2PrMx-VBI/AAAAAAABNig/DZBOFofjVLUnF9W-JiCFjslFwEBkrry3ACKgBGAs/s320/20171210_121413.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm starting off with t-shirts, leggings, hoodies, and handbags for now. Oh and few boots in the Dr. Martin style and the Uggs style.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-piDPfL-xPW4/Wi2PrD0HQ8I/AAAAAAABNig/v6QbWj_6tBMT3ZLTnG7_o02VraB7xXuPACKgBGAs/s1600/Screenshot_20171210-101659.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1240" data-original-width="1280" height="310" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-piDPfL-xPW4/Wi2PrD0HQ8I/AAAAAAABNig/v6QbWj_6tBMT3ZLTnG7_o02VraB7xXuPACKgBGAs/s320/Screenshot_20171210-101659.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't wait to get the pieces I've ordered. I'm going to shoot my daughter modeling the items. although I like doing the OOTD mocks ups. I pin them to my Pinterest board as well. The only down side is the hoodies don't come in plus sizes. The largest I've found is 2x. I woman who wears a size 20 may not want her hoodie to fit snug tight. So for now I'm still looking for a print on demand company that offers larger sizes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway stay tune for new items added to the shop regularly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It's a lot of hard work promoting yourself. Posting constant post throughout the day on social media. Hoping to gain new followers, that not only like your art but buy it. Two originals a month paid in full would certainly be nice. At least for now anyway. Nothing is wrong with installment plans but two originals actually bought in one full payment would sustain me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I posted this to a group of over 200k I got over 500 likes and over 30 shares. It sure would be awesome if I sold her quickly and in full. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love miniature art or tiny art. Some even call them trading cards but I've seen tiny art that was even smaller than trading cards or your standard baseball card size card. Tiny or mini art can be beneficial in many ways because it allows for art lovers and collectors to have a collection that doesn't require a lot of space. They also tend to be pretty affordable. You can hang them in groups, display them on shelves, at your work desk, night stand and even in a album on your coffee table for guest to enjoy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They are a cool way to collect art. I've even seen people use them as stickers or magnets.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So it's time to feed your new obsession by starting a collection of tiny/mini art. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hey guys so far so good! We are off to a good start for the fall season. Fenton Street Market in Downtown Silver Spring, Maryland was a success! Both new collector and existing collectors came through. Surprisingly all original artwork aside from coloring books sold that day!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My BFF Josh is normally my market buddy but he had to work. So my sister came through and did it like a market veteran pro! The funny thing is this was her first market. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sales were really steady throughout the entire day and I looked at my total for the day and said hmmm Lord may I please sell one more original before we go and boom! He did it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Such a beautiful painting and to think I almost left her home because of her delicate frame. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So like I said before the fall season is off to a good start. Up next is an event in D.C.called Art All Night in Congress Heights. </span></div>

I ordered empty eyeshadow pans and used my favorite watercolor paints and a business cards carrier and boom. Art on the go. The fountain paint brush carries the water so no need for a bottle. </div>

Over the course of three weeks the trajectory of my business as an artist has changed for the better. Once again I give God the glory and the makers of periscope.tv. This is what happens when each one of us walks in the purpose we were created for! Periscope has made way for a platform that allows you to genuinely connect to the people who like your brand. I've made some recent genuine online connections that I know when we finally meet... we're going love on each other as though we were long lost family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This goes beyond just periscope but we are just going focus on them for now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay so first there was the Periscope portrait of Ms. Nyesha Algiers Diamond a singer and actress last summer. She has a 9am morning show on the scope and her energy is electrifying!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R-I3LFT03fI/VwH-y2C2lbI/AAAAAAAA5YQ/z-4wd35pnW4TV_YNBFX2nzMFqgLQhoBgQ/s1600/Screenshot_2016-04-04-01-40-10.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R-I3LFT03fI/VwH-y2C2lbI/AAAAAAAA5YQ/z-4wd35pnW4TV_YNBFX2nzMFqgLQhoBgQ/s320/Screenshot_2016-04-04-01-40-10.png" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then there was the Periscope meet up at the Waterfront National Harbor. Oh wait I met Nyesha there as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BWPjrX6rSLo/VwH9X_PyRLI/AAAAAAAA5X8/KmYNxkfUHywcCJNwCmz0xtz0ETz3Gf36w/s1600/2015-12-28%2B10.15.00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BWPjrX6rSLo/VwH9X_PyRLI/AAAAAAAA5X8/KmYNxkfUHywcCJNwCmz0xtz0ETz3Gf36w/s320/2015-12-28%2B10.15.00.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both garnered new followers and new connections. I met the BOOM Brand specialist Jamilah Corbitt through Periunion and Prophetic art painter Ruben Arana. Jamilah lit a fire under me that encouraged me to update my website and be more consistent with my content. Check her out every day at 11:11 am and pm to BOOM positivity into your life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although I've not yet met Darius Williams of Dariuscooks.com He has feed me a wealth of information and knowledge that made me follow through with my coloring book. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now back to the last three weeks. I've been truly enjoying scopes from my new friends in Atlanta, Georgia. Kiki from Mahoganyknots on YouTube scopes daily. She is the bomb diy mom of three. I feel like we're cousins! Kiki is how I found out about Darius and Pam. I've been actively scoping thanks to a nudge from Pamela J. Booker CEO of Koilsbynature.com and actively watching her scopes as well. Getting to know her like family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--Y3DiBMKa8Q/VwIDofPtWiI/AAAAAAAA5Yw/qdJSRs2mRRM5TIkjFIeKEvoOfqQJuI77A/s1600/2016-04-03%2B18.02.00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--Y3DiBMKa8Q/VwIDofPtWiI/AAAAAAAA5Yw/qdJSRs2mRRM5TIkjFIeKEvoOfqQJuI77A/s320/2016-04-03%2B18.02.00.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are just a few names and a few of the experiences that influenced me and my career as a content creator. HOWEVER my girl Pam has been scoping about some real truths about excuses and achieving your goals. It made me go back to when Julian B. Kiganda quotde "do it afraid!" or queen butterfly Diana Ramsey 7pm scopes of inspiration from SistersWithBeauty.com</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hHaZ_7jTChQ/VwIEivAzsZI/AAAAAAAA5Y8/N9GYFALwBLolkGF152k0ZQ5KSjXcNFToQ/s1600/SmartSelectImage_2016-04-04-02-05-48.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hHaZ_7jTChQ/VwIEivAzsZI/AAAAAAAA5Y8/N9GYFALwBLolkGF152k0ZQ5KSjXcNFToQ/s320/SmartSelectImage_2016-04-04-02-05-48.png" width="315" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I am half way through my second print run of my coloring book. All because these beautiful people are walking in their purpose. Which in turn blesses others around them to begin to walk out their destiny as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See how intentional God is!</div>

My cup is running over! I am so happy I'm finally seeing the manifestation of my dreams.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This book is catching fire! I have so many orders to fill and once the first print run comes in I will have already ordered a second print run. Then there is the launch party and round table discussion I am planning to have. I'm in the process of looking for a few sponsors now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This book and others like it will become the new book club brunch thing. Except it will be adults having fun with crayons and coffee! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guys I can not tell you how excited I am about whats taking place here. This reminds me of my first vending event where I completely sold out of all my art inventory I had accumulated over two years back in 2009. I walked away on that Saturday afternoon with $780 in cash and that was very early in my career as an artist. Now fast forward to 2016 the first day the pre-order link went live my PayPal notifications were jumping!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday I did a Periscope broadcast on <a href="http://www.blackbizscope.com/" target="_blank">BlackBizScope</a>. They are a black owned community base initiative that showcases and supports black owned business. They have a huge audience and they use their platform to help other black businesses gain exposure through a #passthescope #blackbizfriday hour long segment through both am and pm 15 minute spotlights. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below is my 15 minutes of fame where I had over 300 people in my broadcast and over 2k in hearts. While I was scoping I was selling and continued to sell while the replay was up. It was such a surreal experience. Periscope turned 1 year old today and I must say it has definitely change my brand for the better. I think because it's live unedited unscripted and a up close intimate look into the soul of the person or people behind the product or brand. It allows people to connect with you on a more personal level. People tend to be more loyal, trusting, and supportive when they feel they can trust you. It's the reason why I will be scoping more often. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I understand a lot of people won't understand or get it. However it's either change with the ever evolving times and they way people do social media to influence the masses or get left behind.</div>

I'm committing to being more active on Periscope. Which is particularly hard for me because I prefer to broadcast when the house is quite and during the day. I however do not live alone so I'm not always in that ideal situation. So I will try to pop in and make many quick broadcast just so there is always a scope in my que.</div>

So I spent all last night trying to finish up this piece. I decided to go to bed since I had a somewhat early am start. However I am having so much fun creating this. I may actually recreate it on a larger canvas with different poses and hairstyles. </div>

As always it feels soooooo good to create. Especially when there is music involed. It just takes you away. Mentally transporting you into a place of peace. </div>

I actually have three but two are due to two of my teeth being pulled. I'll be getting implants for those in the late spring. I'm scared because dental work whether cosmetic or hygiene scares me. </span><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: AtlasGroteskRegular, AtlasGrotesk-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: AtlasGroteskRegular, AtlasGrotesk-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;">Anyway I love painting features that society has deemed imperfections. I love my gap, all of my father's side has one. I look like them. </span><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: AtlasGroteskRegular, AtlasGrotesk-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: AtlasGroteskRegular, AtlasGrotesk-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;">Gaps, close set eyes, freckles, wide set eyes, big lips, deep dark skin, pale skin, baby necks etc etc. They are all beautiful to me and I love how they make us unique. I want my art to mirror the beauty looking back at her.</span></div>

This time I feel I've wondered off and have no idea how to get back. Even my muse has left me stranded. I haven't painted in three months. However I have mustard some inspiration to draw. Drawing has always been a practice that allows for more discipline. It's not the same as painting. It's not hmmm... I know... It's magical. However somehow using the word magic implies that it's an illusion of something not real. I'll perhaps call what happens when the brush meets the canvas supernatural. The process is definitely a very spiritual journey that I enjoy so much so that I'm often a little sad when it's over.<br />
