I am writing on Medium.com and working on the old house

Still not much art happening at the Old House, but I have been working on the house and writing here and there. You can check out some of my writing on Medium. I have some of my own photos on there too, which you can see if you scroll through the older posts. If you enjoy my words, you can follow me on Medium, which would be much appreciated. I am trying to grow an audience. 
I am slowly working on a studio space in my old house--behind a door at the end of the upstairs hall. I know the stairs and hall aren't part of that studio project, but they have been bugging me since I moved in 2 1/2 years ago. This past week I was energized and motivated enough to remove the carpet (and pad, nailer strips, and staples). I am trying to keep myself occupied to get out of the funk I have been in. The house is a wonderful way for me to be productive and get some meditation in as I find my flow in removing carpet or paint, restaining door frames and doors, or redoing a closet. I'm painting, just not the abstracts I almost feel compelled to do. I'm getting there.
I'd like to get inspired and active in recycled art so I could enter the show in Taos again. It's been a while for that one. I need to drive down there to work on the land I have just outside of town (but that's another story).

The crazy old house....
