So a few things- they are moving the first Thursday opening at Equilibrium to the first Thursday in January due to the highly anticipated civil war game this Thursday. Go Beavs!
So all my paintings are done for the Big 100 and that is next Friday the 11th. Here are a few more :)
More paintings for the big 100. Since I am totally addicted to coffee and since I pretty much only wear converse. 
I am on schedule for doing a painting a day. Here is a little sneak peak of what I have been working on for the Big 100. He looks a little mischievous doesn't he?

I can not believe that it is almost Christmas time. It feels like almost over night it has be come practically winter. So we just got back from beautiful Hawaii and it was very relaxing trip. We sat on the beach practically all week and drank fruity drinks. Even though there were many drinks- I did successfully complete a few sketches. :)

So this is a little church out in the middle of no where in Helvetia, Oregon. Helvetia is best known for their burger joint, Helvetia Tavern. I have gone out and eaten there a few times because the burgers are so monstrous and fresh. I did a lot of thinking about what I wanted to do for this show since lately I have been mainly working on landscapes and I thought I would go with something a little bit more from my back ground.
So last night I went to the opening of Art and Soul in Portland which they had a lecture from Danny Gregory. He has written several books such as "Everyday Matters" and "Creative License" which his books illustrate (no pun intended) how he rediscovered drawing in his mid thirties and how it has led to his several books. The main thing that really resonated with me was that you need to be fearless with drawing and how drawing specifically changed his life.
I never really thought about how Art changed my life. Art has been in my life since before I could remember and it's always been there. Art has changed my life 
completely because with out it I would be a totally different person.
I do carry a sketch book and I do sketch often. So I decided to share something from my sketch book. My little puppy, Winston snoozing away on his favorite pillow on the couch. I think he is probably one of my more favorite models.
