A beautiful day outside!

I took a few minutes to walk without my mask on.  I was away from everyone else, and at a safe distance.  The old style neon signs in this neighborhood were beautiful, and I wanted to sha...

Thank you all.

I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you.   You people, my supporters, are the only reason that I can continue on my creative journey.  I'm sure that if I didn't have your suppo...

Hydrangeas and reclining nude. I took a break from the serious work to have some fun with color! I stayed away from black, as I usually do. In lieu of black I used dark green with blue and purple. ...

Continuing my study of depicting major life events in an ancestral style. This one's going to be tough! Partly due to the small scale, and partly due to the massvieness of the subject matter. More ...

I Didn't Stop Traffic (*quite)

I took just a moment to show a corner of one of my favorite neighborhoods! The Junkman's Daughter used to be a first rate second hand store! Now they sell a wide range of unique merchandise, it's s...

Happy Monday! I think that I'm all done with the image! I think that some more work and decorative elements around the outer edges of the panel is needed, though.

Still hot in the shade.

I went out to a walking trail in the woods that I thought would be cooler.  I was wrong!  It is scorching out!  Luckily for me I live in a free and open society where a woman has all...

A time lapse of my progress so far on the prepared panel. It's a challenge learning to paint in a different style, but I think that my personal flare is still coming through! Which is the whole poi...

Hispanic Folk Art

I've made a lot of references to historic Hispanic Folk Art lately. I wanted to share visually what I've been talking about.  These are all images from a book called, "New Kingdom of The Saint...

"Wild". Another short film.

I was about eight years old at a zoo nestled on and throughout the side of a mountain. It was a beautiful place. But I recall clearly how at the time, the big cats were kept in cages. Real cages, w...

Some background information

 My most inspired pieces of art, I feel, are like visual representations of my personal diary.  

"Burn it All", pictured here with detail images, was one of my first deeply personal...

Preparation

A time lapse video of the preparation of an unconventional surface for a painting. An old cabinet door will soon be the surface for a Hispanic folk art inspired piece!

In response to a recent question.

Just a brief response about "Free the Nipple" and gender equality.  A serious subject with a serious answer, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun!

Walking on a very sunny day!

While I was out adventuring I took a moment to shoot a little bit of footage.  It was so bright out!

In the sketch book

Still in progress, but I'm drawing in graphite today. The "Jersey devil" tomatoes are a delicious, prolific variety of paste tomatoes. I am really enjoying drawing their unique shape and smooth tex...

This is another in my short film series.  I think that it's fun in tone and I know that it was fun to make.  I hope th...

5 Days of Pleinair (pictured in order from day 1 to 5)


Pleinair painting is, simply put, painting outdoors. In the 19th century, it became really popular with the Impressionist movement. Like Van Gogh or Monet, for example.  View Post

"Lingering"

This is the latest in my series of micro films.  

"Lingering"  I shot this over two days, and recorded the soundtrack on a third.
