It's all done all that video editing and writing and posting and all that stuff I Then made some new bag charms that have this habit of whether it's my handbag or my backpack or my drawing bag I like to have some sort of bell charm thing hanging off my bag kids Love it when I'm out in public. They want to know if I know Santa Claus Whether you believe in the sound of the bells chasing away the evil spirits and negative energy or not I just enjoy the sound And so anyway, I made some new ones. I'll put the picture here and Took some off of another bag that I had that I'm not using right now. I did order a couple more bags I'm on the hunt for as always the perfect drawing bag For my daily drawing supplies, this one is just this one works But it's just a little bit too small and I'd really love to get all of my daily drawing stuff in one bag Which includes my gel pens. I'd like to have one with the black sepia and gray and gel pens in it and then another one with my Highlighter pens and my dick and my collage for my other daily practice So I ordered a couple bags. We'll see if they work if they work. I'll let you know I'm constantly on the hunt. I really don't want to make one. I hate making bags to be fair, honestly anyway If they don't work, I'm gonna return them. I'm not keeping bags that don't work Uh, anyway, all right, that's it for the minute. I am going to respond to a message from Leslie I'm gonna do some drawing. I've got another picture here that I took at the beach of some fuchsias My dad's mom's favorite plant. She had a giant fuchsia plant in her at the in the backyard of her old house And uh, as kids used to love going over there and popping them We were getting so much trouble for popping the flowers open She'd come out there and yell at us in Italian. I don't know what she said, but yeah Anyway, we'd want to run away smirking Anyway, all right, so I'm gonna do my practice and I will be back morning guys it is clock says 9 52 that means it's 8 52 a.m Tuesday November 9th.

So I'm gonna go run a few errands. I've got to check the peel box All of that wonderful goodness. So we are going to go get that done Hopefully my little thing is in the car here somewhere In case any of the patreon now comes back But we just got back from a road trip. So I don't know exactly where it went to Hopefully it's in the back seat. I don't see it, but you know All right, I'll be back one is a new art bags I ordered came in And I have two more coming on thursday Another one that's like the one that I just got only a different color and then a one that's smaller I'm not sure the smaller one's gonna work It might we'll see but I don't think so um It might work for my stitching my downstairs stitching stuff, which isn't very much anyway um I'm gonna try the bags for a few days these are downstairs drawing bags and downstairs art bags and Having everything in one big bag was too much and the bag was too heavy And sometimes I just want to work on a little bit of drawing or a little bit of the collage or stitching And I just want to have just that out And I don't want to have stuff on the couch all the time and then have to move it when company comes over So anyway Husband's holding the flashlight. So I'm not in the dark anyway We're out getting steps in despite the rain It we had a little bit of a break. So we decided to get some steps in and now it's starting to dump again But we're determined hashtag don't be my mother All right, I'm gonna put my phone away because what water and iPhones don't mix I'll be back. Hey guys. So I got the two videos filmed that I needed to get filmed today I got a bunch of stuff cleaned and reorganized including in the big closet again. You saw a clip of that Um, I got some more downstairs drawing art stuff sorted. Hold on garbage on the floor, okay I also took the wheels off of my art table legs Down there To be honest, I got tired of the table jiggling a little bit And I thought that maybe the casters were bending a little bit. They may not have been but They just yeah, anyway, it does make the table about two or three inches lower Um, but I think I'm okay with that and you know what? Yeah, I think I'm okay with that. I could lower the chair just a little bit Um Then my feet actually might hit the floor That might be a novel idea All right So, yeah, I got the message journal or filmed. I got uh rc trio filmed I'm just watching some youtube up here while I'm just relaxing now Kind of trying to figure out if there's anything else up here I need to do I think I need to upload some more video to the new channel Yeah, so I guess let's get it done. I'll be back Last week's but the beach house that we were staying at Across the street from it On the ocean side of the street a house was torn down. I don't know why I'm going to assume There were some erosion issues because it's on that side of the street Right by where the tide comes in. Anyway, there was a Loose shingle just laying there Yeah, I brought it home. I'm gonna paint a seascape on it So I got that Gessoed I got some clear gesso on it and after I get it painted I'll varnish the whole thing lighting's kind of weird. Sorry. I'm wearing my bedroom Uh, yeah So I got that done Cool. Mr. Coyote was back last night if you're watching this clip you've seen that clip um Yeah, I don't know. I guess we have a new protector around the house I don't know. I did tell the neighbors they have two cute little girls um That play outside a lot and I told I warned them that Yeah, we've got a coyote in the neighborhood. They need to not leave the girls unattended. So Any which they shouldn't anyway because they're too young, but anyway Right, that's it for the minute. I'm gonna watch general hospital. I think While bob finishes up with work for the day and then we'll go for a walk What am I gonna have for dinner? I don't know because I'm at a tomatoes and cucumber and I forgot to get him This is a story yesterday. So I'll be back. Other than filming me painting some have I vlogged yet today? I don't think so. I think I forgot. It's 4 21 p.m Thursday, November 11th. Yes p.m. Sorry Anyway, I spent the day working on the new youtube channel and some art projects editing a couple videos that Some of which are for both channels and getting things scheduled and I have another rc trio video coming out with bae and mike deacon and I got that Up and scheduled and the facebook posts for the group scheduled and everything I got You saw me doing some painting on this this old shingle that I found near the beach when we were at the beach I got a seascape done on it. How cool is that? I love the way that turned out And then I finally finished this little canvas that I've been working on like an abstracted pond situation Didn't know that was going where that was where that was going when I started it um, I did get some Kind of funny blurry One at one is less blurry than the other two. Um night time Ocean photos see shore photos So this is the one that's less blurry Oops, I'll put some still images Right about Like here of that one Okay Then next we have two that look like the same photo, but they're not And they're pretty blurry I'll put them right here I am thinking of You know using this as a happy accident for another painting again, I Was getting ready to shut things down for the day and I turned all the lights off Um, okay, so I have this big canvas here that I just took out. It's 24 by 24 inches or 60.9 centimeters squared and I think I'm going to use these And uh, I mean now that we're under a little bit better light. Look at the colors in that even though it's blurry How fun would it be to do an abstracted? seaside Painting from that, I mean, I think I need to like have those added to my bulletin board of inspiration photos, which is Lives right here. This is what I paint from and so Yeah, I think that's going to be a thing um, and the pond picture started out with this sort of roadway ocean inspiration Went in a direction. I didn't think but the again, these are just inspiration photos that I take They're not intended to be exact representations of the finished work ever So I'm glad it took on its own life and went an interesting place. But yeah, it's pretty funny. All right I'm going to rearrange my bulletin board. I think I'll be back. I wonder if there's any other photos I took that weekend or another weekend. I could stick there Let's look. Good morning, everybody. It is Friday morning, November 12th Like 8 30 ish am 8 23 something like that. Anyway, we are trying to get our shit together this morning pardon my word choices um Because we need to go downtown and we need to pay our property taxes something we just Got in the habit of when we moved of doing in person And it's just kind of stuck. So anyway, bob has the day off today. So we're going to try to do that Of course, we are in the middle of another atmospheric river So that's going to be fun Yeah Anyway, we're going to try to get it done this morning He's taken a shower now that hum you hear in the background is actually the bathroom found downstairs um We're going to try to get that done this morning so that I'm trying to do two things at once. It's not working We're going to try to get it done this morning because we're puppy sitting lily For the weekend for the kids and so She's going to be dropped off at about noon And while they can drop her off and we're not here because they can create her It's just a little bit better if we are home. So We're going to try to be home or be back shortly thereafter So, yeah, Mr. Mann needs to take a shower and get his stuff together and All that meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out a nice way to comfortably store my downstairs drawing bags in a handy way to keep them accessible and yet looking pretty and I'm happy with the bags not happy with the way they're stored downstairs. So, yeah Anyway, I'll be back my vlog yet today. Did I say what day it was? It's Friday, November 12th Anyway, we went and paid our taxes Property taxes we Popped into the grocery store real quick and got a few more things that I didn't get on Tuesday because I didn't know We needed them We picked up the grand dog just because that would be easier for everybody and we were right around the corner And yes, it's raining Not super hard yet, but yeah, so anyway, we've got the umbrellas out and we're taking her for a walk before lunch Because we picked her up and oh my god. She was just like hyperactive lily crazy pants like, you know She usually is when she sees us.

I have an etsy order to pop up into the mail Uh, I'm gonna wear my elastic brace on my knee all day today and I've got my other brace. I wear one I'm go walking over it Took a couple of Tylenol to help reduce the swelling and inflammation because as I said in a previous vlog, I've aggravated my torn meniscus again and We really don't want to have another cortisol if I don't have to so Anyway Doing everything else that we can So Yeah When we get back, I will put my knee up and I will do some drawing. I didn't do any of yesterday's daily practice so I need to catch up on a bunch of drawing and I can just put my knee up while I do that So it feels actually okay right now. It doesn't feel too bad. The two braces of course help So anyway, but I'm going to go aggravate the crap out of it Lily's trying to figure out how she can drink out of the creek. I really think that's a bad idea Anyway, we're going to go walk down to the park Which is next to the toaliton river Is that what it is? Yeah, and we're going to go see how full it is. I'm betting pretty full so I'll get you some footage I'll be back when we're by the river Next door where this hot park is flooded Yeah, this looks a little muddy over here in places, but yeah the grass I bet has really good drainage Okay.
