I have said it a few times now... HOLY COW is this year flying by!
It's so odd that when I was young, (like childhood young), the years seem to drag on for what seemed like forever. These days, I seem to blink and another month has gone by, or my friend's kid has grown into a young adult.
The nice thing about that is that I've known most of my friends for a really long time now. To the point where their kids are as old as I was when I first met them. (Holy moly!)
Anyway, to more haikus!
05Sep18: Not finding Nemo (or Dori!)
My friend Rosalinda wants to have a paint nite with her daughters and wants to have an ocean theme. Since I was sketching underwater animals anyway, I decided to use that to my advantage for this week's haiku. Also, turtles... they are just too cute.
12Sep18: Owl in a forest
One of my good friends, Erica took me to Pinot's Palette for my birthday. She's kinda my paint n sip buddy, as the only other time I went a few years ago was with her. :) Good times. :)

19Sep18: Bonsai in the Night
During that Pinot's Palette excursion, I took some inspiration from what was hanging on the ways, which led to the creation of this paintingku. To be totally honest, I was touching up the painting above and saw that I had a ton of paint left, and just started painting the background with the excess color. Once acrylic dries, it's useless, so I wanted to make the most out of it. It was a creative, leisurely Saturday afternoon.
I have to say, whoever thought of the paint n sip concept is brilliant and misleading. After a few of those, one can start feeling like painting isn't so hard after all. haha! One thing is for sure, it is FUN!
26Sep18: Starry Night over Coronado in San Diego, CA
I painted this a few years ago. My thought at the time was to paint Starry Nights in the skies for a few of places I've lived, namely, Boston and Santa Barbara (if I can determine the skyline that really speaks to me). I have not started those yet, but who knows when inspiration sparks!
