Yes You are Doing it Right
Watercolor on paper. 8″ x 8″ (20cm x 20cm). Ok I may not be doing EVERYTHING right, but yes, I am doing “it” right (whatever it is). In my opinion, “it” is whatever is important to me at the moment.

You are Doing Everything Right
Watercolor on paper. 8.25″ x 11″. Now of course this isn’t really true. BUT I’m hard on myself and my inner critic is usually telling me “You aren’t doing anything right.” So screw you inner critic, I’m listening to this instead!!

She spent five years on the hero’s journey, escaping all the external cages she thought were keeping her constrained.

Alley Artifacts #7
Alley Artifacts #7. Watercolor on paper. 6″ x 9.25″ (15cm x 23cm).
These are all objects I see while walking through neighborhood alleys as well as signs from older businesses what no longer exist such as A&A Fish. Many homes have these metal decorative suns.

Tonala-style cat #7. Acrylic on paper. 7″ x 7″. Named “Salvador” for the artist who also has an extravagant mustache.
Alley Artifacts #6
Alley Artifacts #6. Watercolor on paper. 6.5″x10″. All of these images come from things I see while walking through older Denver neighborhoods. Some like the “Eat In Take Out” sign are from places that no longer exist. I like painting these pictures of a grittier, less gentrified Denver.
