Upcoming work

I am starting a new project that should be done in a month. Right now I will call it 'the coffee project'. In the last decade or so we've seen the rise of the coffee shop around the country. People going in and out the doors and through drive thrus of local coffee shops are as ubiquitous in urban neighborhoods as cracked sidewalks. It's become an accepted and even encouraged way of life. They have become modern community centers, business offices- daily destinations for millions of people every day. This is the inspiration for my new project.

It's gonna be hot!

Great poem from Josef Albers

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.
