I'm a painter from the beautiful West Indies. I love colors and textures. I started painting at age 4 and have kept doing it everyday.

Life

I made a promise to myself last year that social media would never have more of me then my website. So if it’s there then it’s here but not vice versa.

I got this idea of captions in photos from an artist I know. She is brilliant.

Just been one of those deep and hard years but it is ending beautifully. As much as it can.

Doing the wash

Tools, get it?

So as a painter, my big tools are not those but these.

I say over and over again “clean your tools” to myself at myself. I work with ink and paint and to be honest the ink destroys a lot of my brushes but I still love it.

They are my little babies and I should treat them to a pleasant wash from time to time. It’s a charming moment of the looking glass.

Honestly save your good brushes by washing them less but when I do wash them, do it well.

I have an issue of using half a soap each time I wash all my brushes. They seem to enjoy it.

The main point of all of this is that the big step in being a professional painter is wash your brushes but not to much.

Painter out,

Jaws

I miss making art GIFs. They were a big part of my art twenty years ago. Roots

Hola Galeras,

I’m good how about you? We did a little walk today and picked up groceries. It’s very foggy today but it has fun qualities. Got home and then ate breakfast and made coffee my favorite way. Nice and slow and beautiful. It’s a simple pleasure but enjoyable.

I’m getting a full image of what my painting going to be. Feels good to reconnect to that heart string.
