dad in 2004 acrylic on canvas, 30x24in

while waiting in an airport in miami i wrote down my thoughts about preparing for this painting. it was very cathartic and so was finally finally finally finishing this. i feel like i put my whole being and also the 20 years between then and now in it.

feeling extra grateful recently to have art as a means of reflection and spending time w people i love but am apart from. digital is always fun but I have been very happy to work on the canvas lately (also lost my wacom bc im dumb lol). i am so surrounded by technology on a daily basis--intense, rapid technology that is always focused on being faster! + better! and is dictated by an agenda that rewards the production of more economical and more "beautiful" and more perfect imagery. my favorite part of art tho is that I get to spend lots of time thinking about and sitting with one person/place/thing without being rushed… I know this is a privilege that some people wouldn’t even get to have in several lifetimes so i never take it for granted. even so, it can be hard to do this where I am 😕 but luckily I have also met so many ppl who are intentionally creative and have taught me new things about the joy of making art ☺️🫶 anyways I paint pictures out of love and this is a painting of my mom

29/31 • i miss waiting at the bust stop and just staring at the ground. there are so many nice ground textures in the the world. my personal favorite is the type of sidewalks that look like mosaics, the ones made with all the little glass pieces mixed into the cement
