I can't believe is a month!!! Well I had a great day today I was a participating artist for Miami Beach Festival for the Arts. I have pictures! I put the first layer on my work; I'm going to call it cult, (LOL) why? Today a lady asked me if I was in a cult for painting the day of the dead portraits. At first I was a little upset but I figure that she means well and wanted to know why. I did not know how ignorant people really are, even with all the technology around us and that we are able to surf the world with a click of a button I still get questions, “What is that and who are they?” I made sure to educate her, and help understand my point of view because that is really what my work is about. I think is working!!

Day 28
You will not believe what happened. I worked on a pretty cool project today and did not take a picture. I also worked on my website because I was not to thrilled with it. Now is not so bad. We will see when I buy my domain.

Day 26
Today I did not do hands on art; in fact it was more of a practical approach. I went to make prints of my art. Cool! I really look forward in selling them and have them placed in a good home (Yup! They are like my children). So I decided to make more prints but without taking away the integrity of the original. I stand before you and say, “I will only make 3 Gicleè’s of my most popular work!!

So today started on a new little piece becuase I'm bored with the other one and I can't wait to finish it. I will show only the canvas because I want to keep everything a surprise. Is only 8" x 10". Super cute!!!

Day 24
I'm not really in the mood to write. I feel a bit odd well a lot is going through my mind I will write about it later. But I worked on the background to today and I need to work on something new because I'm going crazy. I want to finish this piece but I need a rest from it. I'm going to do a small one. I have an exhibition on the 30 and 31 so you know what I'm going to write about.

Day 22
Well! I was very productive today. I worked on the portrait to finish it and it looks great. Tomorrow I will target the background. Being an artist really sucks from time to time. Why? We are always trying to reinvent the wheel. I never have time for others and I feel bad. I’m sorry for forgetting some of you but this is the way of an artist. Art is something I can’t stop doing and when I do stop I feel suffocated and miserable. In fact, when I have an argument with my husband I find myself looking for comfort in my painting. I think that us artists are consider weird and at times arrogant because we care to do one thing and on thing only and that’s art.

Very tired today. I worked on the flowers; it was about time I did. Well we are speaking but not to happy he is still acting like an ass. Men????? If you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about look back 3 days ago.

Okay! So I’m finally done with my website. Well what goes wrong goes wrong. That is simply how life is. I work my ass off for 3 weeks and can’t publish it. My computer needs a tune-up because it's been working slow mo. The dam thing doesn’t work. What to do? I will try to do my best with out killing myself.

Huston! We have a background. Well I stay up all night working on my piece until the next morning; which is great because I can finish working on my website. On top of that I don’t have work tomorrow so that gives me a great excuse to work late again, since I’m not talking to my husband. I feel like a reality show talking about this but he makes me so mad at times. This time it was not my fault; in fact, I only said that I would go see Avatar by myself because everyone keeps bailing out. I understand they don’t have flexible hours like I do, which is fine. I have enough rain checks to cash them into a hurricane (I don’t get what I just said, but you catch my drift). So, when my husband gets mad he gives me the silent treatment; yup, he is 39 years old and acts like a 5 year old. Are all men cutout from the same paper? Sorry to vent but it just pisses me off. I am very glad I have art to do because with out it I might have already killed him (hypothetically speaking). With that it gives me more reason to recluse into my studio and forget about shit like this. The argument was short and sweet and the only thing I remember him say is: “that’s why people don’t like you!” It’s funny because I think that is flattering to say the least. He has forgotten that artists like me are people that tend to give that impression to others and don’t give a dam. “It is easier to me liked than to be hated” Then if they don’t like me, what a bunch of hypocrites. The difference about me is that I’m very true to my self. I will admit when I wrong and I will fix it. I don’t care what people think of me, I know I’m not perfect. Sometimes I really hate people myself included. I’m sorry people but you do more harm than good. Oh! I got into an art show February 13.

Day 15
Again... I worked on my web today. I just need this done and I don't have time during the day. It's only when I get home that I can do this. It's killing me to see my piece starving for paint. I will work on it tomorrow!

I started with the background. So far I like it, but I might be speaking to soon. I forgot how nice is to paint and hear music. I usually play a movie on my computer from Netflix, but this is nice. Pandora has to be the best app I have; unfortunately you can skip about 6 time (that the only thing that sucks, but I will live). Oh! I was out of Internet for a couple hours and I taught I was going nuts; what technology can do too you.

I’m really enjoying this piece. So far so good, but I’m still a little hesitant with the background I want to have it all done.

Day 8
I worked in oil today. I always enjoy working in oil; it took about 3hours. I wish I wasn’t feeling so blah. I would continue until God knows when. I hope tomorrow I start working on the background. I hate them I always struggle with backgrounds. Does anyone have that problem too?

Sick... I did do some work in my sketchbook today and maybe later I will work on my web. Rain or shine I most create art. I sketched skulls today; I really enjoy the structure of the human body. I enjoy working on bones and muscles; I really don’t know why I just like the way they look (I feel like a Da’ Vinci). I need to paint tomorrow Friday, and I can't wait because I have been eyeballing a painting that I want to start for a while. I want to use it towards another competition that I want to enter. It’s for peace, hunger, and um… Well, you get the idea. I love the idea of promoting something positive with my art. After that I have to finish another painting I started, the main focus my niece. If I wasn’t feeling so sick I would start right now, but I can’t even focus, my head is in pain and my stomach seems never to be satisfy; I keep eating and I’m still hungry (I wonder if I have worms?).

Today I worked on my website (my own f book). It was a needed attention. I worked on Photoshop mainly fixing color and backgrounds. In addition I worked on new stories to upload on the web. Photoshop is not user friendly I think I need a crash course. There is so much you can do on Photoshop, just know how to do it. I loaded a really sad story that is a must read. I think many people can relate to it. When you log on look for “Fight Through it All” www.myownfbook.com

Day 4
I’m nuts for doing this! Today was pretty productive; I was trying to make up for yesterday. I finish my painting and I was able to do some sketching in my sketchbook. In addition, I was able to work on my website. (I hate working on that thing) Every time I see it, I hate it more or I love it more. I really can decide, it’s almost like reading an essay that you wrote and changing every sentence that makes no sense and at the end you change the sentence to the same thing you started out with. I want a simple approach to my website, that is not boring.

I almost forgot the time today! Man, painting makes me forget everything. Well, so far I have painted the bodies of my piece and I came across that I wanted to make their shirt's white. Since, we are looking at differences I taught white was neutral and it would give emphasis on the faces.
