Runs are getting slowly but surely longer. Active recovery thru plantar fasciitis while training for my first ultra, and of course it’s hard - that’s running - but it’s also exhilarating and euphoric - also, running.

Wrapping up one #painting, and starting a new one. Temps creeping into the dry 90s today, so going for those cooler climates…on canvas, at least. Pictured: a cave in Kentucky; Gates of the Arctic in Alaska.

#ontheeasel painting one kind of beauty from another. Cool how immersing myself in art can transport me.

I'd never heard of a "medium distance relationship". When I did, I immediately wondered if I'm in one.
Today I wrote about what it feels like to navigate intense times together in the 19' #Airstream, followed by extended periods apart.

I charge more for straight lines in commissioned paintings because of all the brain cells I lose while holding my breath 😂
fr tho - I can’t breathe when painting lines, and why am I suddenly lying down

This morning I was reflecting on how anxious I can get when it's time to hitch up and move. So I sat down to write about that, and other lesser-advertised parts of so-called "van life". alliharveyart.com/blog/ Enjoy!!

Such an absurd thing with #running: I’m look forward to the long run ALL week.
Then the day dawns, and the first mile, and I’m dreading all the work even as I push forward; doing the mind game of every mile in after that, and it’s sweaty, sore; HARD.
And amazing. My brain explodes.
Repeat 😂

First paint sesh of this commission! She tall (3 feet).
I started with gesso to smooth the canvas so paint will layer on more easily, and then I mixed paint hues in tubs so they won’t dry out. For me the only goal of setting brush to canvas the first time is to block out basic shapes/color.

(1 of 2) When I was at Escalante Canyons Arts Festival last year, a fellow acrylic painter whose work I loved asked me what types of acrylics I used. I said, “Oh, whatever’s cheapest at Michael’s.” She looked AGHAST.
Later, once she recovered, she rec’d I try better quality paints.

Early, early phases of training for my first ultra continued. Realizing that the mix of running and hiking demand more real food. I was happy but hungry at the end, didn’t want to drink calories.
An awesome day. If you’re ever in Kingman, AZ absolutely check out this loop!

New #painting! Progress pics + reference photo for fun.
This was one of the submitted pics for my January contest, and the gal who submitted decided to buy the completed painting! 10% of all proceeds from this and other contest related sales go to orgs aligned with my values: awe, dignity, doing.
