With It Brings New Light
Hello!
As some of you may know, my sweet little Ruby has been sick with the stomach flu for the past couple days. While this royally sucks hard, it has given me some time to release some pent up creativity I've been storing over the holidays.
A few weeks back, an old classmate of mine sent over a link to an artist she said my work resembled. While I think she gave me WAY too much credit, I did love the style that the artist used. So, I decided to try it out with my own little twist. Below is the result.
Also, I've been accepted into 2 new shows. I'll post the paintings once I actually have time to finish them. Lastly, if you remember a while back my Dad and I were a part of a show titled "Red" in Cincinnati. I'm happy to report that both of our paintings sold. Hooray!

Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving!
Here is the second painting I did for the "Red" themed art show. I really like how this one turned out. I wanted it to be a bit darker and I feel like I accomplished that. I apologize because you can see a little bit of the floor on the bottom of the picture. I also managed to spray paint all over that floor in the process. Enjoy!

A Very Cosmic Christmas
Hello!
I've been painting up a storm lately, if you can't tell. I'm loving these new toys and techniques that I'm discovering, so you'll probably see a new trend in style. I'm sure I'll figure something new out pretty soon and then you'll see another trend. And so on...
There is this little coffee house in Cincinnati, located next door to my Dad's art studio, where they hang a bunch of art and sell all kinds of awesome work from local artists (pretty much my dream job). My Dad's art has been in there for a while now, which is so great. They are having a display with the theme "Red" coming up fairly soon, so considering I have a love affair with the color red, I thought I would give it a shot. Here is the first painting I completed. Who knows if this is one I will submit, but I love the way it turned out. Stay tuned for more red paintings!

For Emily
Hi all,
Once again, this painting started off completely different than the end result. I actually messed part of it up, got pissed, and started smearing the paint everywhere. Well, this idea ended up being genius and I ran with it. I was absolutely livid when it happened, I wiped paint all over my pants and almost threw the canvas. Now this is probably my favorite painting so far. I know I say that a lot, but I love how chaotic and loud it is. Enjoy.

Hazel Danger
Hi everyone,
Below is a painting I did for my sweet little niece, Hazel. This painting started off looking completely different than the finished product. But I have to say, this is one of my favorite paintings I have ever done. For some reason the colors blended fantastically together. If you look closely, you can see that some of the strokes contain more than 5 colors in them. The only problem with the internet is that you can't really capture things like that in the photo.
I chose the teal color as the background because I think it represents Hazel well. She is a pretty calm child but she still has a pop of energy in her, which in my mind screams teal. She is always rolling around, trying to hang upside down, and likes to make herself known. So I kept most of the colors cool to represent her chillness, but I added the flashes of bright colors to show off her fire. I can't wait to give it to her.

The Beatles
Hello!
I painted this for our friends, Kristin and Steve. Kristin had a bunch of old Beatles albums that her Mom had given her and she wanted them incorporated into a painting somehow. At first I was very reluctant to chop up some wonderful albums, but after a while I figured, what the hell?
The first picture below is the "before shot" of the media that I pasted onto the canvas. The second photo is the final product. I wanted to make sure that the media was subtle but still had parts that popped out at you, ie. the faces. In my opinion, this will draw people in to take a closer look at the other media in the background. This painting was extra challenging because I was not allowed to use red, my favorite color! All in all, I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.
I apologize for the poor quality of the picture.
