I wasn't too sure about the composition of this at first. I'm still not. I had a different image in my head altogether before I started. Then I thought, fuck it, why do I have to paint just one of these? I realized with my art I have this weird commitment in my head to creating JUST ONE animal or scene and that I can't recreate it in a different composition, color scheme, or angle because it defies the rules I've built up for myself. Ridiculous, I know. I never realized I had this mentality until I said "fuck it" to this painting and continued on with it despite my hesitations. I think the lizard is my favorite part.

12"x12" acrylic painting on canvas recently completed. Still figuring out a title. I'm looking forward to doing more like this; a twist on my animal guide series from a few years ago. #raven #painting #acrylicpainting #desert #scavenger #instaart #instaartist #juxtapoz #hifructosemag #surrealism #artnerd #arts_help #dreamscreatereality https://www.instagram.com/p/BUdPYVHAqWv/?igshid=1jf428m5telp1

Little sketch from my flight last week. Ended up catching a nasty virus from my trip but I am starting to feel human again. 💩 #moleskine #sketch #art #graphite #bee #busybee #weirdart #surreal #beautifulbizzare #artoftheday #nmart #eichelberger #dreamscreatereality https://www.instagram.com/p/BTINr8yAkcs/?igshid=1htcstsrefiaf

Challenging my fear of large scale paintings. 😖 It wasn't too long ago that I was afraid of painting a blank canvas no matter the size and would complete maaaybe 3-4 pieces a year. Started this yesterday. Acrylic on 48"x36" canvas. #wip #acrylic #painting #art #artist #studio #conqueringfear #contemporaryart #abstract #landscape #dreamscreatereality

I went on a documentary binge on Netflix last week when I had two days off in a row from work 😳(!). Sketched this out while watching "Iris". I'm not a fashion person so I had no idea who Iris Apfel was before watching the documentary, but she is now one of my favorite ladies. 😜💁 #undersketch #newpainting #creepyeyes #wip #portrait #art #graphite

🌚 This little lady got an upgrade! I added a leather cord to easily display her. AND she's now available for purchase on Etsy 😊 "Daughter of the Moon" Acrylic on wood Etsy link is in my bio if you're interested in giving her a home. 🙏💕 #artforsale #original #acrylicpainting #etsy #dreamscreatereality #raven #animaltotem #symbolism #woodpainting #spiritualart #abqart #newmexico #instaart #artoftheday

Feeling like crapola from this lingering cold/virus, but I still managed to get my butt to @tractorbrewing for #illdrinktothat to benefit fellow ABQ artist James Montoya. Finished up this painting and auctioned it off to a lovely woman who had her heart set on it since she saw it at the beginning of the night. Thanks, Yvonne!
