Always making
Hola Galeras,
This week is tough. I’m working out the sick. Jenna told me today I sound like a “phone sex operator “. I assume we all have the same voice in our heads about that, maybe?
Either way the show is Sunday. I’m going to do great. Lots of new art the sell and a lot of old art to move. Wish me luck.
Hola Galeras,
I’m making things and I hope you like watching me make things.
Happy Tuesday!

Hola Galeras,
Hope you had a nice day and or weekend. I’m busy always making so I wanted to share this video with you.
Painter’s Breakfast is a big projects going on 3 years now every Monday morning astound 11am on YouTube.
We talk about everything and I answer a lot of artists questions about being a painter for over 40 years.
Really good show.
Hola Galeras,
I have been painting so much I’m just tired now.
Here are my videos of the week.
I have had a lot of feels this week. I’m glad it’s over. Sleep is stalking me. Rest is distant. I hope to leave the week with the peace it owes me.
Enjoy
Hola Galeras,
This week has been huge and a little overwhelming but I’ll make due.
We saw Sumo Sunday live, amazing!
We picked up some Kimonos. Kind of a life long dream all at once.
I’m in an art festival next month so I’m making art and planning around it. I’ll be at People’s Books in Takoma park, Md again for a festival. The world is madness and I’m traversing it like you.
We have to figure out a way to come together and survive.
We will.
Hola Galeras,
So many videos and things to share with you.
I am working on a bunch of new paintings for the art market I’m in next month. I wanted some medium size paintings to sell. So along with some older ones I have some new paintings too.
Making a few smaller ones too for the market. Always good to have different prices.
Abstracts are good for sanity. I might sell some too but I have never tried.
On a different point, we sold the condo. I have mixed emotions about it.
Sometimes you just gotta let it all out to move on.
A little more abstracts.
Sleep tight kiddos.
Hola Galeras,
A good ink wash is unpredictable but not unpleasant. You have to be willing to wait and see as it dries. It sometimes looks like a lot but isn’t much at all.
How ink washes dry can go a few ways. Super dark, almost invisible and just right. It’s all controlled by layering. You gotta just go for it.
The edges are often a good marker for how the rest will come out when it dries.
Layers…
Figure out if you’re heavy handed like me. It comes with practice.
Hola Galeras,
Today is special Galeras. We have sold and are signing off and handing over keys to the condo. I’m happy but sad.
I know everything is fine but I feel like it’s a huge thing and huge things take a lot of you some times.
Wish us luck Galeras as we take big steps.
Hola Galeras,
Lots of making going on this week and a little stress. Hopefully the condo will be done Thursday. It will be nice to never have to go there again. It had nice part but the last few years there have been awful.
I look forward to focusing on my future self in this new chapter. Being the Siddartha of my future of sorts.
Hola Galeras,
It has been a big week and a nice breakfast. I finished myself in these moments hoping to be clever. The food hit me sold in the stomach and reminded me of a Caribbean potato salad. My abuela and my Tia would make these long lasting meals at the end of the day. We used to eat twice a day.
I keep remembering this picture I took of my bag.
I miss this art book. I still have it but I miss it at the same time. It’s not meant to make sense.
Good meals are like time traveling.
