Finally, I pushed myself to get this one off the easel, I had started this one a month or so back but left it sitting there and I got totally disconnected with this painting. Lately, I find myself to have an inconsistent attention span, I want to do everything and my painting gets pushed back, […]

30 day challenge … day 3
Okay… I think I am naming these 30 (5×7) painting challenge, I think it would make more sense to call it the 30 painting challenge. So anyways here it is, this one was very challenging not my favorite, I just couldn’t get those bamboo leaves to my liking but it is what it is and […]
30 day challenge day 3 delayed post.
Day 3 was painted on Friday but never got around to post it, nothing fancy I tried not to overwork the painting, I tried to lay the paint and not mess with it too much. I must admit I’m not doing very well with my challenge but I am painting a lot more than what […]
30-day Challenge day 3 on the works
Day 3 of the 30-day challenge was started (only have 30 minutes of work on it thus far) and I will be finishing it later today and I will post the final this evening.
30-day challenge update – day 2
It’s been a week and I had originally painted day 2 of the 30-day challenge but did not post because I had company, my daughter’s birthday and being distracted with the event. The lonely Shallot was painted in 2 hours, I had a hard time with it especially the translucency of the skin. I will […]
30-day challenge day 1
I guess better late than never so here’s my first day, I actually painted it last night but could not get a good picture till this morning. I decided to keep it simple 1 object and limiting myself to 1-hour maximum,. I painted this one in 45 minutes, I felt anxious and kind of uncomfortable […]
It’s SPRING! Rose Garden in the making.
So here we are again… another Spring – and I must say I have been definitely distracted in preparation to this wonderful season, perhaps my favorite and I wonder why… I have been once again stuck in the garden – project after project with a painting resting on the easel that I have commenced and […]
It’s been a while…
It’s really been some time since I have posted and quite honestly it’s been a while since I have painted, I guess I have been feeling frustrated and perhaps defeated in my journey as an artist. I tried placing some of my work in a coop gallery but only lasted there 3 months – it […]
My new website…
Well, along with my gardening and all my Halloween decor that I’ve been caught up in, I had the brilliant idea to consolidate my website, blog and store and to make it worse change the hosting company. This meant that I had to start from scratch for my website but now I had more theme […]
Fresh off the easel…
This painting was finished 2 days ago but due to hurricane Irma preparation, I have not been able to post. Currently, Irma is kicking South Florida’s butt and as I receive the play by play from my mother who is currently going through it and is experiencing 100+ winds I needed to get my mind […]
