Always making
Hola Galeras,
I can’t even begin to tell you how busy this week was but it was amazing and incredibly hear some videos I put up .
Sales my week I feel really good about it. I feel like I really succeeded and did well and I’m living in my dream as a working artist. I’ve been working hard for a long time, but every time I do it, I’m always just amazed and blown away extremely happy. Onto the next week.
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,
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,
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.
This is a love letter to how I used to film and I still love it.
I honestly forgot most of this book 25 years ago. It was a big part of my life. Not a lot of stories about strong brown boys growing up. This was a rebel yell for me. Great book and also horny book.
My deep reads for a few years has molded me a bit. I hear the tails of my heroes and their struggles and can’t understand how they kept it together, other than they had too. I get older and outlived so many so fast. I think you are your age even after death. Many thoughts but less paint on walks.
Enjoy Galeras.
I hope they reach you deeply.
Back to work,
Tchau , Painter out
Jaws
I kind of like how this came together. It’s more honest of how most of the painters I have known eat.
So much love to all of you.
My Galeras.
