Trying various layouts until something feels right. Ended up close to my initial concept. I had the 0and 4 stencils leftover on my desk from the April art, then found the 5 and switched it out after dinner. This is the futzing around time artists spend iterating that is the Journey part on the way to the Destination of a finished piece. #2026calendarchallenge #artstr #art #mixedmedia #rustypuppyart #artprocess

Now that our Week of Winter has past, I can go outside to fixative and varnish my mixed media art. This is my February Calendar Animal: an industrious little mouse planning plans for the year. 🐭 Second photo is a close up of the spray cans if you want to see the labels better. #mixedmedia #art #artstr #rustypuppyart

Walked just over 80 miles this month, and other than 3 days, met or exceeded by 5,500 step/day goal. Upping the step goal to 6k/day for February. 🐾 #fitnessover50 #31days #walkstr #walking

GM! Documenting the sun rise because this is a very, very, very early morning for me. #photostr #sunrise

@RUNSTR - is there still a split of rewards between me and my team? Or is it all to them or all to me? I found a switch in the settings under Advanced, but don’t see a split option - am I missing it?

It’s only 1 am, after all. #bookstr #reading

Wahoo! I’m one of the finishers of @RUNSTR Running Bitcoin challenge! 🎉 Thank you for the opportunity! 🫂💜 #walking #walkstr #fitnessover50 #31days #runstr

When I look at my art the next morning, and don’t want to add or change anything, then it’s truly a finished piece. ✅ Behold the Barn Swallow of April, a Travel theme! This is the 4th mixed media artwork I’ve completed for the art challenge @existing sprinkles ran last year. Background is layers of old airline boarding passes, acrylic paint, tan tissue paper to create the land-looking bits, white tissue paper for the cloud-looking bits, gold ink, stencils, and various pens and pencils. The barn swallow was generated by ChatGPT to my specs, printed on copy paper, fussy cut and colored with Copic markers. Now …. onto May! #2026calendarchallenge #artstr #art #artchallenge #mixedmedia #rustypuppyart #birdstr

When you finally find a use for that piece of string you’ve been holding into for years… as a wrap for an artist exchange journal. I make art on a page, then pass the journal on to my friend. He creates art on a new page and passed the journal back to me. Only 3 swaps and the poor little journal started having closure issues, so I added the string to allow us to keep it somewhat closed and protected. Second photo shows the last pages of the journal, where I taped the string to the inside back cover, then glued down the last two pages on top. #art #artstr #artjournal #artprocess

Sun and snow and shadows. Playing with composition and framing. #photostr #snow #weather
