This is the new painting I am working on =D

The Act of Being No One

I forgot to keep images of the process of this work.  I felt at first nothing good was going to come of it.  But layering always makes me think this way.  Now that it's finished, what can I say.  I have moved on.  I investigate the act of being no one.  An act that is at times unconcious and mimics death.  More to come soon.

Revisiting

In 2008, I made several ink drawings.  I used to love ink before oil pastels and oil paint.  I am not revisiting ink but there are times you revisit a mistake.  Then you remember how you solved it before and since it worked out so well........well you solve the mistake the same way.  I had to cut out my drawing like a little paper doll and paste it in a clean paper.  The background just did not work.  I am doing this again for one of my drawings.  It almost seems its part of the layering process I love to do. 

New Website

I have just started my website which I still need to include more of my older work.  I will still be blogging because it keeps me sane!

For now it is cold enough to freeze the soul so everyone stay warm.

Contemplate

I have been thinking so much about the beauty that chaos causes.  Let me not explain this image and say it has been in my memory for a long time and I did not know how to approach it until now. 
The figure contemplates
I contemplate
and I hope
you contemplate
your most inner thoughts.

Viendo Colores

Viendo colores is one of my cemetery sketches.  I worked with oil pastels and watercolors.  This sketch inspired my big painting Mejor que con Dios. I love working with these two media because you have the rigidness of the oil pastels to contrast the often softness of the watercolors.
AND this is also my Mr. Wilson.

Cruzes blancas

Cruzes blancas, 2010

I felt this painting deserved its own posting even though its one of my Mr. Wilsons.  I enjoyed it so much I cannot see it go just yet.  Its one of those paintings that just put me into the next level.
