Oil on Canvas. / I painted this is ShiQi. / I don’t usually paint scenes like this, but this one struck me. /
Oil on Canvas I felt in the mood for something stunning. / This spurred a conversation about what people are comfortable with. Apparently people tend not to buy paintings where the subject is staring at you. They say it makes you uncomfortable. / So feel uncomfortable. Get over it. I say push yourselves with what you’re uncomfortable with. You can’t get a more intense stare than this one. I used JayCougar’s beautiful photo as a reference.
Oil on Canvas I know we’re not supposed to put works in progress in here, but I think this stands on it’s own before the ghosts. I do plan to paint fog and ghosts into this one.
Vector Illustration made in Inkscape (an open source and totally free alternative to Illustrator). / This was my first piece using Inkscape, and now I’m a bit hooked. :)
Addy, from my Perpetual Motion series. Each peice is drawn entirely with the numbers 1 – 12, marking the hours of the clock. I call this style “Numberism” / As far as I know, it’s never been done before. / Pencil on Vellum paper. 8.5” x 11” Reference photo We’re constantly moving in one of four directions. Even if we choose to do nothing at all, we are still moving through time. Because of this, we can never go back to where we started. Every frame, there is a new “you”, fully formed in the present moment in time, built on our past and hoping for the future, but only truly existing in this moment. It is only this moment that actually exists or ever will exist, and it’s the only point in which our actions and choices will have any effect on the world, and it will be gone as quickly as it came. These drawings are attempts to show just how fleeting these moments are, these moments that so quickly become our long kept memories, and things that despite how much we might like to, are moments we can never relive. My hope is that when we look at these drawings, we will be reminded of the importance of now and possibly take more advantage of it than we might have without the reminder.
Pencil drawing on paper. Changed to sepia tone in post. / / This is one piece out of my newest series, Perpetual Motion.

THE ORIGINAL HAS BEEN SOLD. PRINTS STILL AVAILABLE. / Drawn with pencil on velum paper. Listen to an orchestra play this song Here While I was working on another piece from this series, I heard this beautiful piano playing. It was so clear, I thought it had to be a record. When I remembered we didn’t have a record player, I went into the back room and saw that my Mother in Law was playing it on the piano. It turns out she was once a classical pianist. Life and being a mom got in the way of the competitions she used to join, but since they all grew up, she’s gotten back to it and is sounding beautiful. This is taking advantage of the moment now. No regrets, just do what you can with the present. Bravo Kay. This is one piece out of my newest series, Perpetual Motion.

She looks down at her swollen belly, feeling her child move inside her. She knows that soon she will give birth and life will seem to rush by. In no time at all, her little girl will be all grown up, graduating high school, getting married, having children of her own, and it will all go by in blur. For now, she thinks of nothing else but this moment, with her baby safe inside her, close and connected to her. She cherishes this moment; peaceful and united.

A photoshop colored version of Addy from the “Perpetual Motion” series. This series uses a new technique, I am calling “Numberism”, wherein everything is drawn using only the numbers 1 -12, marking the hours of the clock. Artist Statement for Perpetual Motion Here
Sixth in my “Perpetual Motion” Numberism series. Somewhere she has a list of things to do filled with words like “bill”, “late” and “memo”, but for now she doesn’t care. She knows this feeling. It has something to do with freedom. The sun is warm on her face. She gets back to business, trying to make a bigger bubble. These drawings are drawn entirely with the numbers 1 -12, marking the hours of the clock. Reference Photo

One of McCain’s sad attempts at rallying us to his side; calling us all his “friends”. Sorry to say, guy, that’s not slipping through. A candidate with your voting record, your priorities, your beliefs and your running mate is no friend of mine….and isn’t America’s friend either.

Close up of Almost Time, because this Clock Tower seems to speak all on it’s own. Pencil in Vellum Paper. Everything is drawn with only the numbers 1 – 12, marking the hours of the clock. The tower blowing away into numbers is the moment in transition, reminding us to take advantage of the moment while we have the chance. /
