As I've mentioned on Facebook, I've been honored to have been chosen as the featured artist for an amazing event. It's called Diamonds Crushing Daffodils and it's a fashion show displaying the works of designer, Alejandro Aguilar, and raising money for The Aiyana C. Hanson Foundation . The Aiyana C. Hanson Foundation works towards helping children battling cancer in the El Paso area. It is a great cause and I am happy to participate in this event!

I will be showing a number of pieces and if you are able to make it out, please feel free to come and talk to me! It will be a lot of fun and it's at a beautiful place.

Art filled April

Greetings and happy hump day to all!

I'm feeling rather bored and a little sleepy. The "itis" has kicked in from a delicious calzone for lunch followed by an amazing Guinness bacon cupcake.. Yes, you read that correctly.. Guinness and bacon in a chocolate cupcake. Sounds a little odd but it was smashing.

I am at vocation right now day dreaming about doing art. I have a little bit of supplies on my but I'm craving more.. Like acrylic or oil. lol

It's been a fairly busy month for me. Job hunting, my regular job, 2 art shows and a charity fashion show where I'm the featured artist. Ok that doesn't sound like a whole lot but each show requires new art so I've been doing that after work. Also, I haven't done any art shows in several months so I had a lot of prep work to do.

I have a lot of updates I need to do here, there and everywhere. I've been falling behind. I am just trying to get into the habit of blogging more frequently. Oooh ooh.. Sketchbook Project 2012 has opened! As soon as I get paid I shall order mine. Here's the link if you're interested too.

Well I don't have much else to say. See you soon and bright blessings to you!

Monday WIP

Hello there beautiful people!  I hope you are having an amazing Monday!  I did a lot of painting this weekend and I'd like to share one of the pieces with you today and show the finished owl  painting from last Monday.  The belly dancer still needs a lot of work.. especially on the face.  I am not happy with her face.  She's for a charity fashion show I'm participating in and the owl is for a Poetry/Comic show I'm in.
