red like blood

standing taller in love with art more everyday 
and becoming more patient. and accepting 
of the way it wants to move
and paths it wants to explore.

with each piece i try to do something i've never done before
the same thing becomes boring. i don't know how other artists do it.
but one thing I've learned is sometimes you need to go through your phases
they are, inevitably, at that very moment, transitioning into new ways.
lately i've been doing lots of characters in profile (side of face) view
i've been trying to draw a woman in front face view, but couldn't create anything i liked.
i'll stay in this profile phase, but change it up every time
and see where it leads to next.

this in progress painting is done with oil on wood, i haven't painted with oils in forever  
because i've been doing so much marker work this summer
sometimes you need to relearn old mediums, like hanging out with an old friend again.

Can you possibly still love yourself while keeping these habits?

If you missed the show at UWM...

just as all colors disappear into black

so all forms and shapes disappear into her



Self portraits.. Dual personality
One third eye open, the other one closed
Arm and scars overwhelmed with fire, the other drowned in water
black, red
loose yet contained, sharp yet free

Can I possibly still love myself while keeping these habits?
I look at the different sides of myself and feel nothing but..

Painting In The dArk

I started this painting in the dark not knowing what it would turn out to look like. My room has very dim lighting, whenever I start a painting here its mostly envisioning even when Im looking directly at it. Yet this doesn't bother me, and it's also not a guessing game either. Lately all my works have been self portraits, but rather than physical observation it's been internal sight


Then I brought her into the light and added a few things
