My First Set of Pouring Paintings
Over the last couple of days, I was looking up tutorials for pouring paintings. With the videos, it did go a little better than my first try at that medium. Since I was still practicing, I decided to do tiny paintings. I usually prefer smaller paintings, because it uses up less paint. With larger works, I start getting desperate, and annoyed. I had that first feeling about it, when I painted the Virgin Mary. I used my first big canvas. It took about two weeks to complete the painting. I even started to get a little bit nervous with my...
Alice and a Big Silver Rooster Acrylic Painting
This is another one of my Alice paintings. I like to try to serialize some of my paintings. A couple of days ago, I had made a bit of a dud. I wanted to try to make a piece that was political or some nonsense, but then I got bored and annoyed. I ended up smooshing the colors with a sponge and it turned into some abstract nonsense. As such, I wanted to paint something that actually looked good. I was down to my final canvas and it was pretty big. It was then when I thought of the Rooster...
Alice in her Head Acrylic Painting
This is one of my few recent acrylic paintings. From time to time, I get a little something called inspiration. Trying to work without it is not really my style.

Alice is part of a mini series of paintings, all with the...
Three Cuban Paintings Made by Mom’s Childhood Friend
Today, I decided to do something a little bit different. This is not to say that I am running out of fine art to show you. I can paint and draw many things. For the time being, I have been focusing on my children’s book project. I don’t want to show any finished pictures from the book till it gets published. I have a real good feeling about. Anyhow, a couple of years ago, through the magic of Facebook mother got in contact again with a childhood friend. They were real tight when younger. She gave him his first terrible...
Green and Purple Floral in Copper Background
The weekend was pretty much uneventful. We stayed at home, like the previous week. The plant’s growing has been the only interesting thing out there in the world. There was a curfew, and that got us a little bit paranoid. I had a bit of a panic dream of somebody opening the front door. I got over it quickly, after praying a little, and then sleeping on my side. If I sleep face up, I tend to have bad dreams, it is pretty weird. The second dream I had was a lot more pleasant. I was playing Video Games. The...
