November 2025

Latest News:

There isn’t much news to share this month.

Art life has been in a holding pattern from last month. Not necessarily a bad thing, just not very newsworthy.

Lots of drawing/sketching, and trying to make it a point to sketch daily, not just on weekends.

Still making short little videos to share, focusing on TikTok, YouTube, & Instagram because Facebook and X show my posts to so few people, that to save myself some time, I’ve just been skipping posting to those two platforms.

In The Studio:

As far as “in the studio” goes, I continue to have no focus or goals, other than continuing to sketch and share.

It’s a strange feeling because all my life I’ve had things in mind to work towards, and right now I feel aimless.

But without a goal, I put less pressure on myself, which is OK. I have no idea if this is some sort of phase, a mental/emotional reset, or if this is who I am now. Either way I’m just gonna go with it. I don’t have any fight left in me right now.

At Home:

Things seem to be settling down at home, thank goodness, and I hope it stays this way.

Early in the month I had a little car issue and a dog health issue, * sigh.

One of the dogs had a bout of colitis. I figured that he must have gotten into something that I was unaware of. He saw the vet and got some medication…then the other dog came down with the same symptoms.

Treatment went as expected, and they recovered quickly. They got lots of chicken and rice, which made them happy. They remained bright and playful throughout, they never seemed “sick“. They tested negative for parasites and giardia, so I will probably never know what caused it. But it’s resolved, thankfully.

The “check engine“ light of the car went off before I even got it in for service, and the issue didn’t repeat. They checked it, but there was nothing to fix. They think it was minor and I can address it if and when it returns.

Thankfully, life has quieted down since. Sometimes dealing with all the little “things“ seems like too much. We need time to rest.

I hope your November has been quiet. Filled with things getting resolved and shifting to a more peaceful place.

I hope that the upcoming holiday season brings you warmth and joy!

God bless!
