slowin on down.

something for the morning.

This is a self portrait that I ended up not turning in. It has its nice qualities, though.

Dog days

I snapped a few photos of my two little hams yesterday. Nothing makes me happier than rolling in the dirt with my mutts.

dia de los muertos

self portrait final for photo

my header is tacky.

Ill redo that soon.

Meanwhile, enjoy these paintings.

avocados

I spent the day creating a visual library. I tore up all of my old magazines and organized them in an accordion folder. It was undoubtedly the best time i've spent lately. Getting this concept drawing has been much more rewarding with all of these references. I painted a couple avocado paintings today also which made me realize how much i love my studio. Its a magical thing transforming from a portrait studio into anything i could ever want it to be. Its my favorite place in the universe.

spontaneous travels

Saturday morning, over breakfast at The Village, Aaron and I decided we were going insane. Getting out of Richmond was a necessity. So with all the excess money we had ($50 to be exact)
we left. Front Royal on Saturday metro into DC Sunday and then head back to Richmond. It was a blast, but i am very happy to be home.
