New Series: “Life Simplified”

So I’m still unemployed. J says I should take advantage of this time to focus my creative energies into my artwork. So, that’s what I’m attempting to do.

This piece was done back in my High School days and I had this really nice big canvas that I made in class.

That summer I spent several hours painting in the laundry room working on it. I particularly wanted to get the eyes just right. (I love BIG cats. There’s just something about the raw power that’s, well, sexy lol) My family liked it so much, that they had it framed for me.

So, here it is. Continue reading ““Kindred” the forgotten” →

So I finally finished the hand piece I was working on.

Let me just say that it was a constant struggle, probably related to my current state of mind. Continue reading “White-hand, Red-nail” →
