The Letter E


E is for Elegant Emu


So I hit a bit of a rough patch. I haven't been feeling too inspired as of late. I assume part of it has to be because of an absolutely terrible hostessing job I had up until a few days ago. I should have quit but instead I just left earlier than I told them I would. I would work 8 hour shifts with no break. (which means I stood non-stop for that time, no food, no bathroom- I did however get water, wasn't that nice of them!)
I really disliked the way I was treated by the management, I was raised to respect your elders and your superiors. I did my job to the best of my ability and followed all the rules. (Including not looking at my precious cell phone while I was working, and wear extremely conservative all black clothing in 100 degree weather) However, it was not worth the $8.00 an hour I was making to be treated like an insolent child.

It is safe to say that now that I am jobless and all I have is time again that I will finally be doing what I should have been doing all summer long- draw, paint, exercise, spend time with my family and of course take Kiba out for more walks! I do fortunately have about 3 weeks before I go back to Syracuse where I will undoubtedly be sucked into a routine of socializing, eating, drinking, tomfoolery and a bedtime of 3am again!
(I am of course not complaining- but I do hope I finish this project before than! :) )

Breaking Bad



I can't stop watching this show, AMC's 'Breaking Bad'! It's just terrific- the acting, the characters, the story, the storytelling, the originality. I haven't been inspired to draw lately except after watching the first 2 and half seasons of this show!


Summer 2011

First- my last project as a Junior in college (finished painting)




Summer 2011: So far this summer I have given up on watercolor for a while and turned to Oil. I have been primarily doing Pet Portraits. :) Most of these paintings are still wet, so the pictures are not very good. Whoops!

The painting of the 1958 MG is for my Daddy!! Happy Fathers Day!!
This is my Shiba-inu Kiba with another Shiba named Ben
This was a commission of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
This is also a Fathers Day present for someone- This Ben, a Shiba-inu
