Wrightsville Beach Sunset

This was fun to paint. Starting to see progress, and recognizing my rookie mistakes as I go. This needs a little more time and love given to it, but I'm please with how its going so far.

Influential Bart Simpson

This past month has been a bit of a roller coaster for me. With the changing of the seasons, moving into a new studio space, and moving into a new house I've been struggling with where to put my energy. When I'm at home I feel like I need to be making and creating art, and when I'm at the studio I feel like I need to be packing. Needless to say, I've been unsure in a lot of forefronts. I decided to take the day to cut up little pieces of paper into Bart Simpson. I feel like this dude has it figured out, and never really complicates too much. A lesson I am forever in the conquest of learning.

I'm glad you were born

On the 4th was my dads birthday. He's been such a huge influence in my life, and is always pushing me to do a little more than I think I'm capable of. Dad, thank you for being patient and understanding and listening to me when I can find something to complain about. I painted a cupcake for his day, and I surprised myself by the end of it - I really like this one! Always learning, always gaining.
