Auction in progress at Starbucks in Montrose

Ready for Spring

Well, today the sun decided to stay out all day like it did yesterday. The bright light was very welcomed by me. I've been deliberating materials I will be working on in the future. As far as art making is concerned, I'm moving along at a nice clip. I had two commissioned pieces in December and one this month. I'm currently working on the piece I will be donating to the Montrose Starbuck's annual AIDS Foundation Fundraiser. It is of my friend Lucas. I imagine he is of Aztec warrior ancestry. Photos are forthcoming. I am trying to blog on a more regular basis. It's a habit I will have to get into. Sometimes I just don't think there is anything interesting to talk about, but most of the time I'm proven wrong at the end of the day. LOL Until next time, I'll be making the world a little brighter one painting at a time.

It was a great day for research and strategizing.

Last day of January

The planning and refocusing continues for my objectives for 2010. I am currently seeking out new materials in which to create my art objects. I made a stop by Texas Art to pick up some 16"x20" Ampersand brand art panels only to find that they had gone up in price to nearly $40.00! Ampersand has finally priced themselves out of my business. I simply do not understand companies that make supplies for artists pricing their products so high that it becomes cost prohibitive for their target customers.

An introspective Monday

After traveling for the last two weeks off and on, I am finally back home and sorting out plans in my head for 2010.

Bidding 2009 Farewell

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me and my artistic endeavors in 2009. It was leagues more successful than 2008 and I know 2010 will be 10X better than 2009. There will be big changes in store for my blog and career direction in 2010, so keep reading. I hope everyone out there has an exciting, safe, and successful 2010! Life Life Love.
