Always making
Hola galeras,
Please enjoy.
For some reason I could get this to load yesterday. My apologies.
Also today I have this video.
It’s a scary year. My mortality is on my mind a lot these days because of my parents.
Hard times to find peace.
Hola galeras,
This week was not great but it ended amazingly. I’m struggling with these paints. They are fine but I’m not coming at them 100%.
I feel like I’m working on thing painting to just get the energy out.
I got another rejection letter from a gallery. Two times this year, at least this one didn’t leave an insulting comment. It’s fine, the next one will be the markets. I’m always a favorite at the markets.
I guess even your favorite artist gets humbled a few times a year.
On to the next one.
Just gotta sit by the fire for the rest of the night.
Tchau, painter out,

Finished it up today Galeras. Had a cup of coffee and figured it out.
I like it.
The inkwash is going well.
I feel like I’m at a conclusion to this painting. It’s not the sexy way to say it but I just feel done. It doesn’t feel inevitable but done.✅
Sometimes finishing a painting is hard because I can’t see how it ends. I almost always see how it ends before it starts. Sometimes you are a pebble in the ocean, moving and dancing underneath the sea. The next end is a rolling beginning.
Enjoy galeras.
Hola galeras,
Been a long week. Not bad but not busy enough. I feel tired but so many plans to do.
This weeks videos are of my new painting and a hot take of. Ai art. Enjoy.
Also my weekly art video.
I picked up a few fun art things this week also.
Tom says “hola galeras.”
Have a nice weekend Galeras.
Painter out,
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.
Some might call this trouble
The price of progress and artist intentions.
Hola Galeras,
I made a few videos .
So I am finishing this book. It’s my third sketchbook in a year. Feels nice to play with ideas that don’t have to be a big thing.
One page left.
I found my peace in the middle of the night. Deep makings in the sleeping world. My peace made of quiet.
