So loving my life right now

There's a new park just east of Dogers Stadium. After I picked up the remaining paintings at the Brewery, I relaxed a little in the park and did some sketching. Here's one of them:

Brewery Artwalk

I had a great show this weekend at the Brewery Art Walk with Wanna and Dan. Kind of overwhelming at times but Lots of fun! It was a great turn out and I got to meet a lot of cool people (as well as re-unite with a few old friends I havent seen in a while). All in all I think it was a big success and incredibly inspiring! Patrick Burns let us use his loft and Charles (who actually lives there) was incredibly gracious with the invasion.

For those of you who were able to make it; thanks for coming and I hope you enjoyed our efforts! We had a web-cam going, you can see a fast forward flurry of activity here at Patrick's website:

Yes, I realize its been...umm...awhile since I've posted but um...Im not even going to bore you with an excuse. Busy?? :o)


The big news:
I've quit my job to focus on my painting. I'm going to spend at least the remainder of this year working on pieces that I've been wanting to do, but havent had the time (or energy). I'm beyond excited to be able to devote myself to my work full time! I do the dance of joy each morning while I make the long commute to my studio (AKA my dining room) to start work.
