colonoscopy and euphoria Goddess KRING monologue

Artist and Model moody me

 Can I be honest and say that I work as an art model and I have for about 30 years in the Seattle area since the early 1990s and when I posted this self portrait of me when I was feeling really really moody and taking a walk in the forest I posted it not thinking that it would be useful to an artist as an art modeling reference image because when I post photos of myself where I'm trying to be a model and look beautiful etc in a certain aesthetically pleasing way that's one thing but this photo was a moody photo a more personal self-portrait so I'm actually delighted that I was surprised that a painter wanted to paint from it although I do value the expressiveness on my face in this photo so it's good to know that some artists want to paint models that just look really pretty and some artists prefer if there's more of an emotional expressive mood or quality to the model more like an actor although I wasn't acting I was truly feeling moody in my real personal life but I guess when I publicly share self-portraits they sort of become public domain or public expressive sharing like they're no longer personal private photos of mine they are publicly published so it's just interesting the way I express myself and the waves that I surf based on what I choose to share! Painting of this self portrait photo of mine by Amy Scherer thanks for sending this to me Amy! grateful my photo was useful for art making!

KringWEAR hand painted opal shoes!

KringWEAR! I'm suddenly very inspired and excited to start gluing the fake opal rhinestones that I get they're made out of acrylic onto some sandals that I'm painting for myself! I've been painting shoes since 1986 when I was in high school and these are the newest things I've done since finding the fake acrylic opal rhinestones to glue onto my art car I'm starting to glue them onto jewelry and now I'm gluing them onto the hard sole part of the sandals because they'll stay that way and it's nice waterproof silicone rubbery kind of glue perfect for shoes work just fine in the rain! If you want a commission me to paint shoes for you let me know or ask me if you want to paint your own shoes I can tell you ideas on how to do it technically! #goddesskring #handpaintedshoes see more of my hand painted shoes here: http://www.shannonkringen.com/kringwear.htm

#rip Dane Osborn

 

condolances to all people close to him.... #rip Dane Osborn age 62...a person i knew from childhood on Whidbey Island when i first saw him play guitar on stage in Langley mesmerized by his talent and handsome charisma...two female friends of mine Abbie and Jessie Deleers sang in a band where he played guitar....they did "my boyfriends back" and "rollar skate" i was around 11 i think when i saw him on stage and was inspired but to shy to go on stage at that point....then years later i reconnected with Dane as an adult in 2011 and we got to know each other briefly in person and had long phone conversations. he had a great sense of humour and he gifted me the acoustic guitar in this photo and converted it into left handed for me when i expressed interest in learning to play guitar

sadly, he passed away due to alcohol addiction related seizure after going through rehab then drinking again they think...i am glad he no longer is suffering in a body addicted etc. he was a great lover of dogs and a talented musician/guitar player- i met his dog in 2011 and he told me a deep connection to a dog he had previously named Crickett and i remember the sweetness of him telling me this...i remember making him a silk screened shirt he wore after i gave it to him and i visited him at a small cabin he lived in on Whidbey Island in 2011. may he rest in peace and blessings to all his family and friends...i am grateful to have had some positive experiences with him. he had beauty in him despite his challenges with alcohol. peace to anyone who was close to him. i only knew him briefly but i will never forget the good moments we shared...
