Golf

Here is the result of a painting I have been working on... The client wanted a golf related beachy scene with two men depicted. I gathered several references online and came up with this...

Backyard

While I continue to work on my thesis (I just begun portrait #6 out of 10)... Here is a quick painting I did of my aunt's backyard in Orlando... It was not a very sunny day but there was still some light.

Back to Reality

Ladies and gentlemen,


I am back in Miami and today I bring my best painting from the workshop I took with Mr. Daniel E. Greene. It was a great experience. I met a lot of new people and I learned several things that I had been wondering about before...

This is Vito, our model for the morning session. I think this painting came out great... I had lots of trouble photographing it though. I couldn't get rid of all the glare...

Bussiness Cards

Ufff.... I am sorry I have not posted these last two days, but I had been hard at work designing the logo and the business cards for wx.studio... My boyfriend Paolo A. Arce and I burnt our eyelashes trying to figure out the design. He wanted to have something more minimalist and architectural and I wanted something colorful that would represent who I am... We finally came up with a concept we both loved and therefore, this will be applied to this blog as well as my website. We make such a good team! :)

The latest news are that I will be leaving to North Salem, NY to attend a portrait workshop by Daniel E. Greene. This is why I wanted to have my new business cards ready to do some networking... I will probably not be able to post while I am there (I don't even know if I will have internet access), but I promise to show you the results once I come back...

I have also been painting for my thesis, and let me tell you I am really happy with the results...

So here it is! A world premiere! (LOL) My new business cards!!!

P.S. I also offer graphic design services in case any of you ever need them...

Rural Pear

This is an example of what a burst of inspiration can do. I just took out my pastels and did it! I wished every painting would go this way...

OK, OK, I confess... I do like the sweet torture of personal artistic growth... Does that make artists masochists in a way?

I thought I would post this horse I painted as a gift for my father back when I was in high school! Now that I look back I was always an artist...

Commission

I had been waiting to post this one until after Father's Day; it was a very special commission that was to be given as a gift on that day. This is a posthumous portrait of my friend's mom. I am very honored to have been commended with such an important task. Thankfully she loved the results and finally gave me permission to post it.
