larger larger larger.

I recently read an article about one of my favorite artist, Audrey Kawasaki, she paints a lot on wood. Really a talented painter. She said something that really got me thinking. She talked about how she normally paints on wood but when she paints on canvas she feels so much freer, able to make a mistake. Not that I make mistakes but I thought I would give it a shot being as i haven't painted loosely in a while. It sort of refreshing.

Obviously this piece isn't finished yet. But I am excited to work on it.

42" x 48" Acrylic on canvas.

I miss San Diego.

At just 4 x 4 inches this could be my smallest painting... ever. I dream of working larger but my work seems to be getting smaller and smaller. I sent this to a friend in San Diego. I have been obsessing over the day of the dead skulls and the culture in that wonderful city a lot lately. Hoping to go back soon.

Hanging by a thread.




This is a 2 panel piece that is inspired by my time traveling with 3 amazing people in northern California. There was a "sketch" early on in this blog. Here is the final hard version of it.

Acrylic, spray paint, and ink on plywood.
