I'm really excited about this piece. I might work the background. Haven't decided yet. I think it works with the white background, although i can hear one of my professors saying you need to have more, more more... The gallery called to say get happier models. I don't see this kid as a sad one but whatever. I'll keep this one and make a new one for the gallery. A happier one.

Small sketch painting done this morning.

Today i woke up looking at the mountains instead of the city. In an effort to remind myself what i'd see, i made this. It's pretty loose but i like it. I'd like to say "me la saque del sistema" I hope you enjoy!

Remeber the comedy show on tv?? i do. So i was watching some old kiosko on youtube and got inspired to paint this. Trying to hold on to the old tradition of the neighborhood store. The store owner knew everyone and you could actually trade items for other things you needed most. This traditional store has long gone never to be seen again, thanks walmart! The old store i remember as a child was in the town of corozal and it had a 5 cent pinball machine. I was probably 4 years old. I had fun playing that machine. The store is a pizza place now. a really bad one indeed.

Weekly Painting


Weekly Painting

This painting took me a week to finish with all the interruptions. I think it came out well. Very bright and interesting. The steps on the background lead up to a little plaza where i play dominoes with older people. It's funny to look around and not see a young person, all you see are older gents and ladies playing domino or discussing a move. Anyways, i think it works compositionally, better yet it evokes a certain and unique personal emotion. I'm going to put it on display soon so feedback is around the corner. At least the people whom have seen it like it.
