My friend from England suggested that I step out of my comfort zone of realism & get messy w/ my art & loosen up. I’ve been so wrapped up in Illustration & Realism that I had no clue what to paint. I just put my brush to the canvas and came up with what might turn into a series of paintings expressing different  emotional feelings. I think its good for any artist to take a step out of their norm and exercise their range of abilities. I thought these turned out pretty cool. Let me know what you think:

Despair

Joy

“Duty . . . is what we are expected to do and to be. It is a moral imperative summoning forth from individuals and communities that which is right, true, and honorable. Duty does not require perfection, but it does require diligence. It is not simply what is legal; it is what is virtuous. It is not reserved to the mighty or high in station but instead rests on a foundation of personal responsibility, integrity, and courage.” – Keith B. McMullin

Aunt Beattie

A few days ago, my Aunt Beattie passed away. She has been suffering from various health conditions for the past several years – including cancer. Thankfully it wasn’t a shocking death, but sad nevertheless. On a positive note, she is no longer in pain – but free. We all have fond memories of her that we’ll cherish and hold on to in our minds and hearts.

I painted this for my Dad to take with him to the funeral. I just realized my recent blog posts have all been on a sad note. I’ll do my best to post something more uplifting than about someone who passed away, lol! BTW – is it just me or does it seem like a lot of people pass away in January & February?:

He’s Happy

This weekend is a difficult one emotionally. I’m trying not to fight the emotions that are at times overwhelming. One year ago tomorrow, my brother passed away. He was my hero, my one constant source of love & comfort growing up. I always felt protected by him – never threatened. We could talk about anything and he always understood. My thoughts, emotions & heart felt safe w/ him. We had a special connection…

We do now too, and I couldn’t ask for a better angel to help guide my spirit through this life. I just miss him terribly. My heart aches so much.

This painting I did last night, while listening to this song:
