Ok, gang. Let’s reboot and get going. I invite you to consider a co-creative joint endeavor that singularly reads: “A brand new me in my brand new year.”
A BRAND NEW ME in my BRAND NEW YEAR! I hope that feels as promising to you as it does to me because I’d like to have you along for company. There is something about the open expanse of a new year that begs for relaunch and reinvention. My personal thoughts are about trust and enhancing my Future Self life.
One brand new me 2021 event is my very first online art show with fellow artist friends Pamela Roberson and Bonnie Anthony which launched January 29! We were interviewed by Mike Brennon, host of the “Creative Chats” podcast. There’s a very short segment on my Facebook page. It and other short interviews are posted on the show website as well. Go to thepbjeffect.com to hear how we got our name.
Also in honor of my Future Self (yes, she lives in caps), selected paintings will be offered at going, going, gone! prices. Some are framed, others not, but all are 50% off with free shipping to United States destinations. I’m making room for the new me in this new year and clearing out the studio is key. I also will be selling my collection of Koa wood frames, some with cut plexiglass. Contact me direct or through the website if you’re interested.
The third part of my 2021 Future Self is what I’m creating in the studio these days. I’m reinventing my approach to the batik method involving explosions and collage. More fun show-and-tell pictures are on the way so keep an eye out.
What about you? Take a quick moment and consider who you’d like to be in 2021. How would you like the world to see you? How do you want to dress? What sort of adventures do you crave? What brings you joy? What things make you feel happy or content?
Part four of my 2021 Future Self involves (finally) fixing and updating my environment. “That’ll do” no longer fits in my life. When I choose something to wear or when I look at a room in my home, I want to feel a resounding “Yes!” I want to feel a sense of satisfaction.
To recap: Sale-priced paintings are now posted on the Website. I’m also showcasing them daily on my Instagram and Facebook pages (direct links can be found at judyaveiro.com). New paintings will be added to the site soon as well. Note that some paintings have been “hidden” from my website during the spring online show but you can still find them by going to thepbjeffect.com. (Oh, when you’re on thepbjeffect.com website, click on my painting “Moonchild.” When you get to the new page, scroll down and click on the short video to see how I create my batiks. It’s fun and Zen-like.)
Thanks for hanging in there with me. I send love and best wishes for a better-feeling New Year. I look forward to hearing about your brand new Future Selves.
