All the places we find ourselves

This painting is about displaced children in cages and how awful they must feel. I’m calling it “the misplaced displaced.” I don’t know what to do to help those kids other then scream and punch dumb asses and paint about it. Someone please help them. This has to stop.

The meet up

We now have two kittens to add to our family of Alec, Mon the dog and me.

The two baby cats are not yet friends. Time will fix that.

My boy Miles.
little Mochi
Mon the weiner dog

Mon loves everyone. Mochi and Miles are at war.

noises and hissing

Mochi loves Mon.

In the myst of all these things i have been painting but not close to as much as I would love to. So I have to find my focus again and be the best I can.

Truth be told, I’m running on empty. I found so much in making sure everyone is ok that I stopped “mind painting.” I have spent so much of my time making a gallery of unmade paintings inside my head most of my life and now ..little bits jump out. Maybe my style wants to evolve again? I don’t know how it will or could but it is a beast that does whatever it wants.
My big hope is to reach my madness again before I crack.

Next time Galeras,

Jaws

Texture is life

See me

Detail is the line you should always chase.

Working in a circle

I see the sky above me and the land below. The people are like the trees.

Arte is my word from now on.

I love how Black and White grabs so well. Out of these I only like how three turned out but I like the number six more.

The style feels like it’s coming through. Like I’m starting to have a vision of what I enjoy in my photography.

It’s weird to love black and white pictures and hate black and white paintings. It just feels half done with paint.

My plan one day unrelated, is to start an artistic movement in my time. Change a generation. We shall see…

Love in purple

Just feels beautiful to me.

The face of color

living in the paint and ink is such a pleasure and an honor. I love the feel of my new paints. Arteza watercolors feel good on the canvas. I’m not sponsored but I do think they are great.

A lot of this painting has been to some great summer music like Jaden Smith’s ep and Bad Bunny with J Balvin. Good music while painting is like food.
