A Painting for my friends

something this year that really hurt me to the point of sadness was the fact that I could not make it to one of my best friends wedding. This person has been there for me during my youth and has taught great things about how to live your life. As most of you know I just got a job in Buffalo NY and the wedding was in Oregon.
I didn't have the money or the vacation time to go witness my two friends unite through marriage. I remember him calling me to ask my measurements for a tux and having to tell him that I can't make it, after that call tears just kept falling. It eats me up inside and there is no way to express my regret...

this painting will soon have a picture of their daughter that I will send to them as a wedding present.

I love their family dearly
for everything they have done for me.

My family

It will be years before this painting gets finished...
in the painting, our bodies are relatively small which means our faces
are incredibly hard to capture accurately.
I know I'm not good with fine detail yet
so when the time comes I will give them another shot

an abstract view from my window

this is the holder for a reed diffuser on my window seal . I created some very cool images of what I see from my fourth floor window.
