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.

Painter’s breakfast… coffee late night

Hola Galeras,

So I did have a show this morning. It didn’t save for some reason. It’s ok. I got a new coffee maker. I love him.

So I’ve been thinking of how to finish this one for around a month. She is a bunch of thoughts and plans baked into a pie. I feel like I nailed it, what do you think?

She is this madness, and it’s lovely. She is not done but she is moving in that direction.

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

The fast answer is no. One because I change my mind about things as I grow and two because I don’t think it is healthy to have all the things. I look at rich people and they seem awful.

Maybe the real idea is to want happiness and be simple in your wants. It shouldn’t be about things, I guess. I’m not that enlightened, I still want crap I have no use for but I can imagine a time when I let all that go. It feels sane.

Hola Galeras,

I feel like I’m running around my own tail( if I had one.) I have all these ideas I need to put down and get done. Catching up is the worst. Nothing ever seems to be enough. I’m honestly not sure how I will feel full other then to make constantly.
Either way I hope this new episode finds you well. I enjoyed making it.

It’s so easy to reach a goal when you can’t see anything else but the downfall comes what to do next. Not huge goals but little ones.

Painter’s Breakfast

Hola Galeras,

Today I had breakfast tacos from Takoma Bevco. They were egg, potato, spinach. They kind of remind me Baliadas. I also got a watermelon water from Mela Water.

Here are a few links for the week.

Last episode of PFP. Ep 15

My favorite Seu Jorge album.

How do you balance work and home life?

I just kind of have too. Is the simple answer. I have no other choice to stay creative. I try to always make a list of the important things and keep open spaces for them. I got back into journaling and that helps me keep focus.

With my big art business and having a family, I just have to do my best to stay on it. I fall behind sometimes but I try to make up for it.

It’s a big beach and the waves are infinite but in a great way. I love to swim.
