Roses and Fruit

I worked on this painting on and off for a while. I consider flowers (especially roses) one of the most difficult subjects to paint, and this wasn't the exception. These were the roses I initially planned to have at my wedding. But since that didn't happen, when I saw them at the supermarket I couldn't help myself and brought them to my studio. The lemons remind me of Italy and the green apple is one of my favorite fruits...

Wrestlemania!!!

These pictures are from the Wrestlemania Premiere Party in Star Island (March 29th). I was chosen as one of the live artists for the event. We had to complete a painting in two hours, which was then auctioned off to raise money for the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
It was sooo nice!!!!
I hope you enjoy...

Amapolas

I just finished this painting I had started a couple of months ago...

I am now happily married and finally organized in our new apartment. Married life is busy busy busy!!! But I feel even better now that I "took over" the dining room and transformed it into my studio.

I can't wait to keep painting!!!

I'm alive!!!

Here is a painting I have been working on for quite some time... I have been dealing with life lately... the latest news is that I'll be getting married next January (:D) and so all the paperwork and the respective courses at the Church have been taking up most of my attention. However, I squeezed in a little bit of painting and I am FINALLY able to reveal this one...

And, even better, I already began the next one!!!! You will see it soon, I have a good feeling about it...

Quick Study

I went to meet my friend Doris last Saturday at her studio at Lincoln Road's Art Center. We hung out for a while, had some wine and many laughs. I got to paint this quick study since we had to get back home and it was getting pretty late...

Good times...
