the thing

Posted on December 29, 2022 by keishua

It’s that time of year. you know when everyone is gathering thoughts and ambitions for the new year. it can be exciting or tiring or something in between for most of us to have a pact summary of our last year and an ambitious new things to be doing into the new year. however, if… Continue reading

syncing

Posted on December 15, 2022 by keishua

I mentioned the photo dilemma to my resident computer expert and it is syncing issue that I don’t have the brain space to care about. that sounds silly but it’s true. I feel silly and ambivalent about technology. I can watch YouTube for ages and then I can barely spare a minute to look at… Continue reading

how you tell it

Posted on December 8, 2022 by keishua

the birds are out today. so are the squirrels. I had a glorious few minutes of watching them drink from puddles on the deck. if only my computer and this blog could work in unison I would have photos to show. however, that is just not the case and I haven’t the mind to try… Continue reading

going slower than slow in a non aesthetic way

Posted on December 2, 2022 by keishua

the truth that is hard for me to accept some days is that i am slow. things take time for me. i like complicated complex things (including myself) and it just takes more time than i would like to admit to do these things. yes, i can do things fast and hard and even do… Continue reading

more on peaches

Posted on November 10, 2022 by keishua

I ate all the fancy vanilla peaches. not all at once. although, they were so good I could see that happening. I ate them slowly over a week, it was big but small jar. I loved them but the place I got them is 30 minutes to hour away. not awfully far but way too… Continue reading

pleasure principle

Posted on November 3, 2022 by keishua

sometimes, I catch myself being harsh and punishing to myself for the most mundane of things. you know, being human… a wonderfully imperfect and slow mess…glorious things, really. I am wondering how I can drop that story of the need to fix and punish and instead embrace the mess and nurture what matters–me, the human.… Continue reading

painting in my mind

Posted on October 13, 2022 by keishua

there is a part of painting that always feels out of reach I think it’s my mind that sometimes gets attached to how I feel something should look. there is nothing wrong with that aiming for a particular look or feel in a painting is okay but when it comes at the expense of true… Continue reading

doing a thing

Posted on September 30, 2022 by keishua

I completed the thrive together network artist residency( at home) this month. well, today. I am not surprised that I finished it but I am surprised, if that makes sense. my art practice has been all over the place for the past few years if I am honest. it has been anything but steady but… Continue reading

dance like one

Posted on September 9, 2022September 9, 2022 by keishua

are there times when you feel like the lines are too tightand you must swim back towards your own knowing?what does your body say as it sinks into the softness of Johnson grass and purple nettle?do you understand that even here there is a story under stories?the earth is not needing a hero, again.more like… Continue reading

bustle enough

Posted on September 8, 2022 by keishua

bustling, is the word. the word I would use to describe this late summer, early fall season. a time of regaining, restoring and nurturing. tBH, I love fall. I got married in the fall and had my first baby in the fall. enjoyed all three of my little as wee babes in early fall morning… Continue reading
