Holiday Greetings!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving....now that we are quickly approaching the holidays I hope you all can reflect on the year 2014 and embrace the ups of 2014 and learn from the downs. I appreciate my God given talent, the support of my family and friends and also all of those who have collected my creations and appreciate them enough to bring them into their homes and share with their family and friends. I am thankful for you all and send my good thoughts and prayers.

Be safe, stay happy and spread the love.

Title: La Mirada de la Vida

Support: Found (re-purposed) wood cabinet door 24x24 inches

Medium: Acrylic

This door came from the Cockroach Theater, Las Vegas, NV. It seems it came from another older source...recycled love.

With the fall weather approaching us quickly I reflect on the summer activities and all the get togethers I have shared with family and friends. An entitlement I am blessed to have, something every person across the globe should have. Enjoy life, you are all entitled to do just that.

I will be at the La Jolla Art and Wine Festival October 11 - 12th, 2014 Booth #256 Come out and join the fun.

In Celebration of Frida Kahlo, whose Birthday is July 6, 1907 in Coyoacan Mexico I have painted my version of her. She is a woman of strength, a pioneer as a female artist and an artist that painted with her heart and soul. Her passion, her pain and her love spilled out onto the canvas. Enjoy! Happy Birthday Frida!

I recently read that the word "Selfie" is now an official word that has been added to the Dictionary. So to celebrate the selfie, I decided to paint my own self portrait. I hope you enjoy. Commissions are always welcomed.
