Basket of Apples

While I was in Sarasota for the Tata Gala I stopped at a supermarket and saw a beautiful arrangement of fall products. These apples were part of it. I am glad I had my camera with me at the moment, for this was definitely a fun painting.

Still life with Scallions

Yesterday I felt inspired but once again I was having difficulty setting up a still life. I went to the kitchen and grabbed some random objects and arranged them in different ways. The result was a nice composition with vertical and diagonal components... I love the understated beauty of simple compositions and bright colors.... I want the viewer to look at this and be reminded of home.

Plein Air by Hammocks Lake

This was done Plein Air (outdoors) during last Sunday when my friend and classmate Doris Rodriguez came to paint with me... It was such a nice day.... We walked along the path around Hammocks Lake and we found this nice spot just by the Broadwater complex...

I believe this is one of my most successful plein air paintings... I see the improvement!!!!

As mentioned before, two of my paintings will be shown at this year's Tata Gala... "A show about breasts for breasts" A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation which supports the fight against breast cancer.

Just wanted to share the flyer with all of you...

Hope I can see you there! I will be attending the show with some of my relatives...

Avocado/Aguacate

I am in love with this piece... I adore these colors!!!! Can you feel the creaminess of the avocado?

I want to do more and more of this kind of thing -bright colors and simple compositions-

I actually took some progress photos in this one. I hope you enjoy it!

Tata Gala

I am proud to announce that this piece, along with "Femininity" (which was posted some time ago) are going to be shown at the 2009 Tata Gala taking place in the Digital Three Gallery in Sarasota Florida. It is a show about breasts in benefit of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which supports research about breast cancer.

I am making plans to attend the opening, it would be really cool to see you all there...
