February Greetings to you.
I hope you’re holding up.

*** SMALL PICS CLICK TO CLEARER VIEW. MAIL MAY BE SHORT - CLICKTHROUGH TO SEE IT ALL, IF YOU WILL.

Good painting flow continues overhere.
Keeping me some kind of sane, during the Jan+Feb 2025 Endurance Challenge.

The sending rhythm guided by what I have to share with you, visually, may work well.
Unlikely to be more frequently than fortnightly, I reckon. Keeping up with the carry on.

You can shift to reading the mails in the app, as+when you choose, if that suits you better than receiving direct. Whatever works.

The underpage. Brush-cleans, pen trials, date-stamp cleaning - glorious mess

Concertina Book 2 has begun! This is larger than the first one.

My relationship to engagement, reciprocity, if I reach out, is influenced, of course, by being at-home, and mostly in-bed, as I’ve named previously, variously.
Those of you who know, know, + I’m not inclined to describe it in each post.

The four Souls who leaned in, in January, brought me kind contact.
It’s not all that any of us needs these days, - but I’ve seen many notes + articles, had a couple of conversations, naming how important contact is, ‘especially now’ - (when else?)
Kind exchanges help us along, always, and ‘especially now.’

Thank you for reading this part, if you did.

I’ll be bringing a new short section - Yonder Things - on through here.
A few good links, probably each time.

I ‘ll begin by:

pointing you towards the fine writing + thinking here. ‘Hard Refresh’ by Patrick Sharbaugh
(sorry about the yellow link - hover on it, + you’ll see a short bio of the author.)

I like…

Because I hear that some of you-who-read substacks don’t know about this, I’m linking directly to my ‘Likes’, to share with you.
You can also go there via the flame at the top of the page, onsite, I think…
Then, if you click on my ‘Likes’ tab there, you’ll see a long stream of Good Things which have spoken to me during Substack Roaming.
Some are short Notes, some link Notes, some longer writings/offerings.
I am enjoying Austin Kleon ‘s encouraging mini-vids there recently.

I use ‘Likes’ as a curated bookmark area - maybe you’ll enjoy a rummage + find relevant Treasure, too. Along with some Beauty, naturally.

The Notes can open up infinite RabbitHoles, though, so keep your wits about you…

+ That’ll do it for the first ‘Yonder Things’.

Finally, these.
Someone pissed me right off, and I took my sear-your-eyes-out pink, my good mark- making stick, and I set to. Letting rip, artfully, to settle myself, is crucial for equilibrium, I find. I hope you have your ways to do this, too.

Got it out, onto the page. Robust Expression.

Keep Well, Dears.

I look forward to sharing more artistry + whatnot with you as we go along. x x x

All Being Well Enough ~ which feels less inevitable, day by day.
February 2025 is no picnic, eh?

With Love, x x x Jaihn.
