I am a DC area native, I am a single mother, a daughter, a sister, a singer , an artist, a writer, and a loyal friend. Just want to share what I have to offer with the rest of the world.
As a result of my need to get out of the house but my habit of being a bit of an introvert, I tend to sit in cafes or karaoke bars and start drawing with whatever I can get my hands on. Which is typically a pen (usually from my pocket because I always have them on me) and a napkin. Here is one that I sketched out and inevitably did a painting, that while not a replica of the image above it is certainly inspired by it. :)
Another new sketch as I get back in the swing of things. I call her Sleeping Beauty. Which is funny as my current condition has put my sleeping patterns off a bit. This too shall pass. Anyways let me know what you think.
FINALLY painted it. Will eventually post some of the sketches. I don't feel they're worthy of publication JUST yet because I had stopped doing sketching for a while so, I'm getting back into the practice. Lot's of pages to fill but I like how the cover came out! I squeal with excessive amounts of Joy. Also...if you didn't notice I'm in some sort of weird pink phase. ;)
A couple of lessons I have learned about people: 1. Insecure people will work double time to try to make you feel just as insecure as they are, but love them anyway. 2. A person who has no problem hurting themselves, won't have any problem hurting you, love them anyway. 3. So many people will tell you that you can't do something because they feel in themselves that they can't, keep doing you and love them anyway. 4. The most sensitive people often have the biggest walls. I have realized walls are for cowards, open hearts are for the brave. Welcome to Day 2 of 2013. Make the most of it, it is a page of a chapter of the book of your life. Have a good day everyone! ^_^

The blue lady was born on a day in which I found myself in a state of melancholic limbo. i was trying to release my negativity and focus on something more positve and therapeautic. As I painted, it was as if she leached the sadness out of my body and took it into herself as she took form on my canvas.
