Always making
Hola Galeras,
I’ve been missing my radio show from a few years back so I made you a play list. The theme this week is Trinidad and Tobago.🇹🇹
I grew up on this music and a few of these actual songs. It is a mix of soca and reggae music from the last 40 years.
I lime (vibe) to this music often and paint too it all the time.
It is a family love letter.
I felt this could be a good way to do the radio show without radio.
It reminds me of siting on a hardwood floor as a kiddo listening to the records and radio play. I would try to color in The Phantom comic strips in the paper with melting crayons because in South America it’s always hot and moist. I would try to make purple by rolling the broken blues and the chips of red. Never really worked because you need space to mix bigger then the customer character in a panel. The learning curve is and was stiff. 😊
It’s funny when I think of my trips to see my family I remember food and music more than even faces. Also I remember the white sand and drift wood on the beaches.
Music just feels like life.
Sometimes music just feels smooth.
And others perfect and warm.
Good night Galeras,
Jãws
So I’m going to be posting the recorded episodes on my Patreon. I have been thinking about doing this for a time. All the stars aligned. Time to get back to the music.
I have to cutest little recorder for all of this. He needs a name, any ideas?
I’m thinking of an ocean theme. Do your best and I’m sure I’ll pick one.
Also maybe playing with a fun logo for my company name Painter Files.
Have a fun week… maybe some snow. Where is everyone from?
later, Painter Out

It’s really a beautiful place. The edges are rusty and sun kissed. Home.
All parts of one whole.

I found myself digging deep to finish this painting. I’m around 75% done. It is an enjoyable idea.
All done.
Very happy with this one.
Óla my Galeras,
I’ve been thinking deeply since the virus hit. Making crazy art and trying to finish crazy art. The madness is strong. It’s the time available to spur my minds second thoughts. Madness.
The key parts I have understood in my process are to not take the inches as miles. The small moves are never noticed until you make 100 moves. So you have time to play around with colors and patterns and shapes. The love is in the details.
I keep playing with the idea of writing an art/ color/ texture philosophy book.
And it would all come together from my mind into the book. Maybe it’ll be a lot of things together kind of like me. A mixture of cultures and ideas. A cake of makings.
What do you think?
