oil paintings

oh the beauty and aroma of working with Georgian paints!
latest oils:

Gave away my narwhal today
he's in a better place now
same with the man trapped inside the hot air balloon above
both 16X12"

5X4" Restless
catching her forever moving

letters, poetry, figures

Words are left out too often
After stumbling upon this brilliant project called 300 love letters
(Check it out, highly entertaining and inspiring.)
I have found myself writing letters to people in my life (though with no intention of sending them yet)
this way I can train myself to express moreso in words, where I'm currently lacking.
The creator of this project puts it perfectly:

"I wanted to be able to pull out and vocalize the small thread connecting me to them, them to me, the something in them that I found beautiful or real and the something between us that existed beneath everything, acknowledged or unacknowledged, forgotten gestures and moments, strange and rare affinities."

(one "love letter" I'm willing to share, also found in an older post)

Fridge poetry,
temporary
an entertaining art that has always interested my soul.
I should collect pictures of said work...

Jacob. My model. He likes to sit for me, and I enjoy drawing him.. we all win :)
Figure drawing is my high, my craving throughout the day,
want to be drawn next?
