So this is the latest painting for the restaurant. This friday is pineapple day and the painting is ready, finally on time. it's bigger than the last 2 i made, 60x42 more or less. It turned out ok... i'm not impressed. But it's a good attempt considering that i haven't been painting that often.Now i feel like i'm back again, wanting to paint all the time. Even if what i paint sucks. I'm getting inspired by everything! so i'll keep at it.

On a sad note;
Mr. Bernie Fuchs died. Mr. Fuchs your paintings were AMAZING! thank you for the inspiration!

I did this painting last night. I have to do a theme painting for a special night at Fratellis. This Friday is all about the onion. So i did this piece. I was working on another one for this event and i almost finished it but it looked nasty and horrible. I used a different type of canvas and it was just working against me. I stopped working on it! I almost called my friends at Fratellis to tell them i wasn't going to do one for this event. They were sure to be disappointed. So late last night i got in the mood (maybe the fact that i was disappointing someone got me going) and i finished this piece. I like it a lot. I might just keep it for myself since i used a color scheme that would go well in my house. Anyways i hope you like it! i hate disappointing people so if i have, i'm really sorry!!

This is the painting i've been working on this week. It's the biggest piece i've done so far, i think. It's 48x72 as you can see from the canvas tag... how retarded of me. It took me a while and i don't even know if it's finished. It's one of those things when you like what you have so far, it could be better, but you don't touch it because you think you'll ruin it. That's how i feel. It happens to me fairly often, so my solution is to let it be, for a while, hang it somewhere... see the reaction and then decide if i'll change it. For now, i'm putting it down and letting it be. hope yous like it!

The tango of the solitary pear

I'm working with a friend, who is the head chef at Fratelli, in a new idea for the restaurant. They decided to make a 5 course meal using one vegetable or fruit. This happens every last friday of the month. This friday they want to use the pear. So this is the painting i did for this event. Last month was tomatoes. I did a painting for that too but i forgot to take a picture of it. So now i'm working on another painting for the restaurant that has nothing to do with pears. Just to hang there and make the place a little more inviting. It's a painting of la perla. Hopefully it'll turn out ok and i will post it here. For now enjoy the pear!!

Last night

I painted this last night. Might have been the dark that made me use really bright colors. I like it though. I couldn't sleep last night so i just kept going. It was more of painting a bit and then waiting for it to dry. It was so humid it took a while for me to work and finish this. I actually wanted to use the blow dryer but it was real late and i do have neighbors. now i go back to sleep

I still feel a little sick. This horrible cold has gotten the best of me. But now it's starting to fade and i need to get back in the race. anyways i hope you like it! peace

Made this silkscreen this week. I like it. It's jake, my dog and a pink chair. Making silkscreens is really hard when it's raining out. I have to wash the screen and it's sort of difficult when the weather is against you. So i made it anyways and now i'm sick. I think i have a mild flu case or i might have an infection because, silly me, i didn't use protection when handling the fumes of the adding fluid and the spirits. Wanna Know why i didn't have protection? cause everyone ran out of masks!!! why in the world people in puerto rico are buying masks???! don't even tell me it's about the swine flu!! cause that would be ridiculous. Anyways i finished it and my throat hurts. Today i'm going to start a painting for the gallery. If i finish it today i might post it. Stop by later aight...
