Complexity is a Matter of Perspective
Recently, it struck me how much easier painting has become. Of course, working at something over many years consistently would have that as a by product. Yet, I think this is something often taken for granted. This applies to so many things in my life, such as combining singing and playing piano, or even just…

“Ripples” and Black Point Wildlife Drive
This painting is done! It’s based on a photo I took when my partner and I went to the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. It’s such a beautiful place!

Advice To My Teenage Self
At 42, after having recovered from colon cancer, I’d say this: You only get so much time and things change drastically once you become an adult. Enjoy the fact that you have very few responsibilities. You will never have the amount of free time that you have now ever again. Appreciate your parents, they are…

Lulu
When I was a child, I had a stuffed dog named Lulu. The name still cracks me up. I remember I took him with me everywhere. Apparently, I had him with me at the Bronx Zoo one day and he fell into one of the animal enclosures. It was the kind of enclosure that you…

Bird Art
I love birds, they’re so adorable. I’d have them as pets, but they seem to be high maintenance bc I heard they poop every 15 minutes or something crazy like that 😂. Also, I would feel bad keeping them inside. They are my favorite thing to photograph, but are hard to capture because they move…

It’s That Time of Year
September has begun and it’s the time of year I always look forward to! I love the months from now until December. It’s filled with holidays from work and just a good vibe in general. Here in Florida, the weather gets cooler and it’s start of the nicest weather. It’s usually the hottest from June…

Bird Series and the Past Week
I felt inspired to paint after looking through my many photos. I have to remind myself to look through them, otherwise I’ll just completely forget about them. For me, the joy is in taking the photos 😆 These paintings aren’t quite finished and the last one didn’t make it. I just didn’t like how it…

Paintings I’m Working On
I think these are mostly finished, I’m going to let them sit for a while and then check them again. These are based on photos I took at The Epcot Flower Festival and at the zoo. It’s a different experience painting my own photos and for some reason it’s sometimes more difficult to be inspired…

Mermaid Art and Holiday Season
This is my favorite recent painting. Last month I had some sort of painting breakthrough. It’s about time, as I have been painting a significant amount, for years. But mostly I haven’t really been happy with my art. I’ve always enjoyed the process, but not so much the results. It’s nice to finally see all…

An entire world opens up when you step out of living in your mind and into the present moment.

Autumn Vibes 🍁🍂
I try very hard to eat healthy and not buy any junk food, but this isn’t a goal I’ve been able to fully accomplish yet. Partly it’s because of stuff like this, but also it’s because eating healthy gets so boring for me. I can do it for a while, but then I get these…

Inktober Day 23
More jellyfish! I love experimenting like this. Just playing around with colors, with no pressure is so much fun.

What principles define how you live?
I have found the following principles really help the quality of my life. They are difficult to do and I’m far from perfect at them, but I’ve managed to make some progress over 15 years. Some examples are, trying to be truly present as much as possible so I can raise my level of consciousness,…

Inktober Day 8
This one’s inspired by the year of the dragon from the Chinese zodiac. LOL, I don’t think I’ve ever tried to draw a dragon, it’s always seemed kind of difficult. So this was my attempt 😂

Vlog #6
Went to Old Key West resort and Howl O Scream at SeaWorld. Some random food and of course, art.

Inktober Day 7
This one’s inspired by the year of the tiger from the Chinese zodiac. I really wanted to color these in but the paper just won’t allow it, unfortunately 😔 I thought the orange of the pumpkin would be cool with the orange of the tiger.

Mostly done
I usually take a break from a painting when I think it’s almost finished and then go back to add details later.

Do Something Creative
I do at least one creative thing daily, like paint, sing or play piano. It’s amazing what this can do for your health overall, especially if you stick with something over time. It has made me eat much healthier and start exercising, because I realized that if I don’t have good health as I get…
