This is the direction i want to go with my work. these are water colors. This style requires a lot on time. .. I love this style that i have create with the skin tones.the mother and child means alot to me. It's me being the best mother I can be to my baby and I'm carrying her in a traditional way like they do in Africa. the colors are klimt inspired.

depresed a little

OK... i have not had a lot of time to paint or do any thing like that. As soon as i get home from work, I'm scrambling trying to feed Zion before we go to the gym. I get home from the gym late.. so there is not much time for much, but a bath and bed time. I wish I can take a day and just paint.

The only thing i have time for is to crochet... I have a job were I sit alot and do nothing all day. so i sneak my yarn in and made so many beautiful things........

anyway i get depress at times because all I want to do is paint. While I'm typing this blog, I could be drawing something right now... but after I'm done I have to get in the shower, wash Zion's hair and do it up for the week. Maybe one day I will get a break.

my table

This is a small collage I did of my sweetie pie when she was an infant... I love her so much. She's a little angle sleeping on her golden thrown. I used glue, toilet paper, gold acyclic paint and a photo of my baby.

I decided to stain my coffee table a cherry red color. so fun it was. My sweetie pie joined in the fun

An art Teacher's Dream

I found this on another blog. (http://users.livejournal.com/_keena/). I wanted to comment but I'm not a memeber of that blog site... but I would really love to teach at this school.



Look At the dress I crochet... I'm so proud of it.

the Goodwill

I found this book of flowers at the goodwill, my place to shop... So people shop a neiman marcus, I shop at the Goodwill. Love that place... Well anyway. Klimt my idol was highly inspired by flowers and used them in most of his paintings. So i found this book and decided to use it as reference on some of my paintings.

Mother Africa

We are the only group of people who can not trace back our lineage.. ( unless your name is Alex Haily) ... But some how because of our beautiful dark skin, unique features and kinky hair, we are still chained to the motherland. Not only are we chain to it with our physical features but emotionally. That is what this watercolor is about.

This is a mono-type I painted in watercolor on a plexiglass, then put reeves BFK paper on top, then ran it through the printing press. I think it came out pretty damn cool.
