Hermosa Beach

My latest picture made with Trader Joes bags is at ShockBoxx Projects gallery in Hermosa Beach tonight.  Hermosa is the home of Black Flag and the California punk rock scene.  My suburban teenage self thought that was pretty cool!Although my Dad didn't get the music I was into and we had a few rough teenage years he sure would of been proud of my art's picture in the paper.  We never really understood each other, but we sure did love each other. After he died and I was cleaning out his desk, there was every little art opening, card, flyer, paper that had to do with me and my art.

 I've been sketching large in the studio with graphite, attempting to not put faces on everything.

Sketch book

This is graphite pencil, it's soft, smooth, and makes it's so much easier to draw what you feel.

Eye of Nature

I found an old book, and the paper is perfect for pastel.  

Painting vs. posting

Painting, projects, photograph....Post! I get pretty behind in this blog and need to build may website but darn't art gets in the way (and family) but that's a good thing right?  Anyway I post more frequently on Facebook, Instageam and Twitter so follow me there and I'll I'll follow back!

Save Art Space

I love this idea, this project and all the art happening here.  You gotta check out what Save Art Space is doing, they are renting up advertising space and putting up art, how cool is that?!  Here are a few pics of my piece "Figures in Landscape" just off the 2 FWY at Glendale Blvd. in Los Angeles.

The waking and sleeping emotional life

I've been sleeping a lot since my Mom died, not dreaming until last night, when I was conscious of the ability to cry in my dream, but not while awake.

Red Bubble Art Shop

I'm making art as much as possible in between the spaces of my hectic family life taking care of my Mom and kids.  Which means I'm pretty lacking in the promotional department.  Thankfully Red Bubble art shop has come to my rescue.  I'm uploading new images every week for sale! While I get get back to drawing, you guys can click here.

Studio View with Corgi

My favorite art store is having a show, "Once Upon A Time" so I made this Cinderella out of the Holiday Trader Joe's Bags.  I found chandeliers, dancing, music, wine and glass slippers...
