castle fortress *paradise / oil, acrylic, pastel / canvas / 54 x 49 inches

this is actually a painting from 08 and it was hanging in Dana Point loose without stretcher bars but the tenant who was living in there crumpled it up and left it behind the water heater. my mom and brian brought it back and there wasn't much damage except for all the wrinkles so i stretched it and brought it back to life.

its been a while now since i've posted any art and i've always tried no matter what to be somewhat consistent in my work habits so that i have something usually ready to show. however with my studio moving from my room to a larger workspace downtown i've had to clean pack and move three years worth of supplies and work and its taken some time with my little car. also since the middle of august i've been working almost everyday on something related to my computer business as well as a bevy of parties and small travels. i have not been lax just swamped with little time and painting takes stretches of time of not being interrupted to work and get the right motivation and thoughts moving. things seem to be quieting down lately so hopefully within the next couple of weeks ill be back in the swing of painting. it pains me that i haven't been painting but lots has been churning in my mind while my hands have been busy with other things. i am always working in my mind. soon to have work up again.

nobody knows
the facts
which makes things dire
dear, slowly cruisin down
the road, nobody sees
my lights,
And like a ghost I pass
through life,
you can't forgive that
you can try & find the
Edge,
opening your eyes wide
to how it moves,
its love when you see it
and fills your blood with
light.
