About Me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As I finish my painting, I sit for a moment while looking at the paint on my hands sipping on a cup of hot coffee, only because it's 3:oo am and I began to see another painting on a white canvas. I shake my head for the sake of sleep I need so bad. Then I begin to draw out in my mind as I drift off to sleep, what will come next. Maybe trying something more earthy. A bit of limestone dust in this one or maybe little dirt... No... rust will work better, and as I mixed it on my plate the color moved me.. It's sad that my paintings one day will no longer be a part of my life or even this world. So, as they leave, I take a picture, hoping it will help me to be close to what I love so dearly. As I spent time traveling around this country hiking and observing my own self, dreaming about all that matters to me. I have explored everything I believe, or at least it feels like it sometimes. But discovering something new is what I live for and when I find it I tend to over indulge in it. As I get older though day to day living and raising my kid is something I enjoy now. I still find myself constantly thinking about my next white canvas, continuously wondering what will be next..
