nov. 22 LOVE LOVE LOVE cy twombly

this is my FAVORITE artist ever. of all time. i found out about Cy Twombly a long time ago but am proud to say was already painting a little bit like him before i saw/knew about his work. his paintings are sooooooo beautiful and stunning

nov 22- anthro

the past few weeks i've had the opportunity to be the temp for the visual team at Anthropologie (at the location where ive been working) -it was a great experience and soo much fun. i was able to help with a lot of visual details in the store but these were some windows that I helped to make

november 5

working on the new blue painting..

november 3- its been a while

in progress...getting there

...editing and pulling back. i think an image is more powerful if it's understated and edited well. i think an interesting visual image should imply different directions for the viewer to be taken, instead of spelling it all out for them and thus taking away any intrigue.


..i saw a little gallery down by fair park here in dallas and im going to submit these and two other large pthalo blue ones to it. they only ask for 5 at most so we'll see. other than that, i've started/am working on 4 others that will then give me around 10 paintings that i feel strongly about that i can submit to other non-profits and small galleries very soon! yippee skippy

october 1 (i love october!)

getting there...

sep 18

yay for new paintings! ive just started these lil babies















































aaand. the turquoise images are of my newest commission that i FINALLY finished. thank the good Lord. i think the sun rose and set in fast motion a thousand times, snow came and melted, spring and summer came and went, the dinosaurs came and left...all while i was in my little cave screwing up and redo-ing this thing over and over. damn. knock me over with a feather. what? i dont know. im delusional and glad to be moving on thats all. in reality it was probably about 2 months. anyways, the furthest image down is the full painting, the others are some close ups. it reminds me of water or rain and hanging gardens :)
