the one card i wish i kept

i rarely keep my own atc's [artist trading cards] yet i really loved this one.. i think i traded it to Stacy Harris.. she is kind of known as a horse girl in the atc community, perhaps because this is the year of the horse.. or rather, fire horse.. 2026, and she is creating a card for every day of the year.. i wish i could be that committed.. i love the idea.. and then i showed her this card & she had to have it.. i loved it too.. the grey, the feathered feet.. at least i have a photo of it.. i won't try to recreate it, i know it won't be the same.. yet i never keep my own cards.. some people can't part with their art.. i sometimes use a card in a junk journal spread, tho i am not keeping it as a way of never parting with it.. i just think it's a good colour & it matches my spread.. i have sold a few paintings this month.. yeah, it was a good month.. i know there are a few days left & hopefully i can muster up another sale.. and if not, i'm good.. i feel really good about the pieces i sold.. i have come to realize that people really do seek out my art.. i have repeat customers.. feels good.. feels fucking great.. today, i sat outside all day, on the porch.. it was a beautiful day.. cool for mid August.. high of like74.. that is crazy.. while the rest of the world is scorched & burning, we have had a mild ass summer.. i love it for me.. so today, me, on the porch, with mamacats, my watercolour paints & i did 5 paintings.. tomorrow i will find the right mattes & frames for them.. i might have to order some new mattes, i'm down to boring colours like white, or too loud colours like red.. i will try to get them on my marketplace shop.. it was a good day tho.. Mark had a slow day.. he stayed in all day, watching reels on the computer.. he's had some down days lately.. or lazy days anyway.. not sure what, if anything is going on.. i know he drank lastnight & as much as we have been lushes, seems it slows him down the next day now.. maybe he is just outta practice.. ha.. anyway, i'm just rambling.. i always forget about this blog, so i wanted to do something. i have written some poetry lately, haven't done that in a coons age.. maybe i will make a post with one of them.. yeah, why the fuck not eh?
