Reflecting on my art...

It's spring break from work for a week, so i have almost a week of PAINTING! The next few days are expected to have gloomy weather, so i will make the best of it!
I have soooooooooooo many paintings started & a stack of canvas with the ideas already sketched out!!! I have to get caught up on my comissions so i can ship them off. I have so many ideas for paintings constantly in my mind, its hard to work on just one at a time!!! There was a time when i first attended UTBrownsville, I would rack my brain thinking of something to paint! That is WAY behind me! :)

Just wanted to share a few of my favorite paintings that are still in my possession (most are still for sale)!!!! :) (i will be adding a few more)

new stuff.

i wanted to share a painting of diesel, that was done by ruth vineberg, my grandma, who i recently lost on valentine's day. she was one of my first art mentors (besides my mother, beth fedigan who is also an artist). it's really made me reflect on life. since my relationship with her always involved art, i have been reminiscing on my art path. i wanted to say thank you to everyone that has made an impact on my art career. to all my family and friends, thanks for always having faith in me and patience with me. thanks for all the words of support and encouragement, and constructive criticism!

to all my past customers a HUGE THANKS for helping me work towards my dreams!!!! :)
