Abstract art, podcast and health stuff

It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. It feels like an empty space doing these blogs as I haven’t worked out how to see if anyone has been viewing them specifically lol.

I’ve been doing many things. Sales have picked up a touch lately with a large semi abstract selling and my watercolour hobbit houses. Im also working on a set of 4 square canvases which I have had some trouble with finding something to paint consistently on them. I’m thinking abstract storm motif. But this could change knowing my brain.

The podcast has been rearing on. We have published 3 episodes and recorded 4. Fortnightly episodes at this stage as we work full time and live somewhat far away from each other. I’d love to do weekly ones. Maybe someday. You can listen on spotify or your preferred podcasting streaming service. The podcast has been a learning curve of figuring out video and audio editing in this lense. I had done some music editing in the past but we have been using the free program Da Vinci for the pod.

The world has felt heavy of late and somewhat hopeless with wars, rising costs of living and home ownership seeming further and further away. I’ve also been looking into some health issues which has been world shattering to put it lightly. More on that to come most likely.

I have some business flyers printed that I will put around town. Also if you know of any local shops looking for art or willing to put up flyers hit me up!

I tried a new Daniel Smith watercolour the other day and was actually disappointed. I didnt read the label properly so it is my fault whoops. Turns out the colour is metallic/irridescent. Its very thin and watery (watercolour I know), but unlike the other few colours i tried by the Daniel Smith brand. They cant all be wins I suppose.

I’m still trying to find my niche/ thing to stick to. But lately I’m wondering if that isnt really even for me. I struggle to stick to one thing, moving between abstract to representational to watercolour to mixed media. And maybe that’s just my thing.

Thanks for reading! I know its been short. For more insights check out the Podcast linked on my main page of the website or search spotify - The Side Quest Creative Podcast.
