Large watercolor

This is a water color I've been working on for 2 years. I ran out of gold leaf or lost it, so it's not finished yet, but I love it. This was a photo graph I stole from a friend. I sketched it a couple of times then gave it back when I was finished.

New Art

These are all new oil paintings that I have been working on. I took a break from watercolor to see if I am able to paint with oil. I think I did a pretty good Job. But I still prefer water color.

This is a self portrait of me called "African Violet"

I had my student studying impressionism and I want to see if I was able to do it with these last two paintings

almost done.

I have 4 oil paintings and about 5 water colors that I am almost done with. And once I'm done, I will try my hardest to introduce myself to the world. My confidence is very low, But I have to walk out on faith. One one will see any of my stuff just sitting my my living room. I have a story I want to tell and hopefully the world will listen.

Art Teacher!!

Yes me.... I'm no longer in a dreadful uncreative line of work. My passion have come true and I am dwelling in the love. I have time to come home and paint. do my hearts desire. Hopefully I am able to finish all that i have started! my tiny apartment holds as a studio. I pray to make it work.

it's been a while

I know I'm not on this blog much but life has been killing me. My focus has been off. these prints are inspired by my daughter. I used Dick and Jane books as a guilld.

this on is my favorite.

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.
