come back to me, traditional!




starting to realize that my abstract pieces are cool and all but I should also be focusing my attention back on the traditional paintings that I used to do..
In order to start these paintings, I've been looking at Jenny Saville..
fleshy colors, embellished bodily features, but nevertheless, beautiful in all ways possible...

good things


Patience is a virtue. I now truly believe that. In all honesty though, its hard for someone to keep going through life living the same day, doing the same things, talking with the same people, going to their same job over and over again, day after day. Often times, I feel like I work for nothing. Just living the same day out and always doing the same things. Thats how I've felt all year. Sure, graduation is fast approaching and exciting things will unfold after that but when you're in the present time and nothing seems to go your way, you start to wonder, will something exciting happen anytime soon? Well, today something EXCITING finally happened..
As I woke up today to 3 missed calls, 2 new text messages, and a voicemail, I raced over to school to see what the big hoop-la was about.
Well, hello, SOTHEBY'S..

I can't contain my enthusiasm any longer, I'm so happy that I got picked as the GRAND PRIZE WINNER for the sotheby's competition.
Free airfare to New York?
Free hotel stay in New York?
Exhibition of my work in New York at the Sotheby's Gallery?
A chance to meet any one of my personal favorite artists in New York?
New York!!?
I can't believe they picked me. I'm excited and nervous and ready to move forward!
This is a sign of good things to come... my dad was right
god does have plans
PS
I love each and everyone of you that has supported me in the past and still supports me now, THANK YOU!

Xmas present!

What's the best thing in the world?
June-rose, by May-dew impearled;
Sweet south-wind, that means no rain;
Truth, not cruel to a friend;
Pleasure, not in haste to end;
Beauty, not self-decked and curled
Till its pride is over-plain;
Light, that never makes you wink;
Memory, that gives no pain;
Love, when, so, you're loved again.
What's the best thing in the world?
—Something out of it, I think
