Alt Text: Figurative contemporary painting of a man and woman couple, eating at taco bell on what is clearly a date. The infamous Taco bell paintings are behind their head, they are drinking baja blasts
Close up detail of the womans face
Close up detail of the mans face
close up detail of the baja blast and the mexican pizza
If the company is good, the food can be mid.
(but my hot take is I would consider taco bell food to be bad.)
"Yo Quiero"

Contemporary figurative painting shows two girls in a classroom with whiteboards behind them. One girl is sitting in a chair while the other is kneeling on the ground, drawing rainbows and houses on the other girls' arm with crayola markers.
Detail of face of girl sitting in chair
Detail image of girl doing the doodling
Detail of the doodle on the girls arm - rainbow over a house
My momma always told me those crayola markers would get into my bloodstream if I kept letting my friends draw on me like that. (I guess they did)

Little baby paintings fresh off the easel just in time for Miami this weekend.
Before picture of painting of girl kneeling in front of her friend
After picture of painting where its obvious the girl is drawing on her friend
I paint around everything once and then paint over it and repeat. As im about to finish a painting i wanna say "im circling the wagons" or "im circling the drain" but its not technically correct and I live with @wdudatlonfa.studio. in any case with todays progress im Circling the WagonsDrain.
I am sitting on the floor holding a painting in front of me, my head resting on the painting. It depicts a young couple on a date night at taco bell, drinking some Baja blasts
Look who actually finished a painting for the first time in too long.
"Yo quiero" 24 x 24 oil on canvas - better pics coming soon
And then next time I try to make something of similar caliber, im like yeah nah I can't remember how the hell making that work happened. It's a frustrating kind of magic 😅😅
Color blocking of a painting of a girls face
Really awkward painting phase where that color blocking is beginning to be gone over again
Finished layer of girls face - were hoping it looks less awkward though it still isn't finishes
Have some awkward middling pics
Collage of todays progress on an oil painting. Top shows where I started today, bottom is where I ended. Depicts one girl kneeling in front of another.
In any case lots of work done on this painting today, lots of work left to do (purple shirt girl needs to have some shoulders to hold that head up! And then gotta make it so you see what they're doing- drawing all over each other!)
Something something "trust the process" something something "delayed gratification." Painting is doubting yourself while huffing fumes in the hope that the high f completion is worth it
For reference, this was two hours of work today. I started from a very rough spot, but 30 minutes in the middle of it this was not a face at all. Just a couple of sloppy smears
Painting is crazy. For 30 min you'll be actively making things worse, completely on tilt, wondering why the hell you ever thought you could paint when what you are working on is undecipherable. Two strokes later, it starts coming together and you wonder where the hell the face you painted came from
Before and after photos of todays progress on a small oil painting entitled "Chrissy." Painting is of a waitress in a popular diner ar night. The painting is clearly unfinished with no detail, just blocked in shapes.
Todays work on "Chrissy" - an 18x18 oil painting. Still in the land of base layers and local colors
Art festival season is coming
Why should I have spent my last three months without art festivals slowly building up more paintings before an art show that was an incredible win to get accepted to when I could instead panic paint at the final hour?

A slice of cornbread with jelly
I always thought it was an ordinarily southern breakfast treat to have a slice of last night's cornbread sliced in the middle, warmed with butter, slathered in jelly. I had it every morning I woke up at grandma's but haven't met another person who has?

How to tell if its cold outside:
My hottest take has got to be that high pulp orange juice is the superior form orange juice.

Havent mastered quite the same volume of the spread quite yet, but here's to my favorite day of trying
If you have to leave your favorite fluffball make sure you ha e a blanket
It's cold outside. Make sure you stay close to your favorite ball of fluff.
Choose one this weekend: feels like 95* nobody out too hot or sudden popup nobody put too wet. Not a thing on between.
Today is September 15th and this is your annual reminder to tell your best friend you love them and then also tell them why you love them.
I have to add that these same people are talking about how much they love watching handmaids tale
