sloppy art

I will be showing this Friday at Village Gallery of Arts in Beaverton, OR. How ever the show at Village Gallery of Arts leaves me feeling a little sad. For one i will not be there for the artist reception (i will be in Seattle) and two i rushed doing the project. The goal was simple. make four 6"x6" paintings in 30 days. well I procrastinated and i my work was due by may 1st. i started on Fri and did the work with water colors and i used gloss to make the colors run but they paintings looked sloppy and rushed. i'm kind of ashamed to turn them in but i didn't want to be a flake to a gallery. I'm signed up to do 30 4"x4" paintings in 30 days. this time i will not waste time. For now the clock is ticking for my 7x7 show and i have 6 virtues to do still and 30 little paintings.

Lust: The last of the Deadly Sins

So At last I have finished my 7 Deadly Sins! The last Sin is Lust. This was a hard piece because I didn't just want blatant sex. That was too easy. I was going to do my birth since i was a product of a lustful night for my parents. But I didn't do it because one of the galleries can't show nudes and well my fat baby head coming out my momma is well beyond nude. My it still left me thinking. Most babies were born out of lust. If the pregnancy was natural and not from a donor, then it came from a night of lust. Lust can be dangerous. It can lead to rape, unwanted pregnancies, stds and what not but some times this thing called lust, a sin none the less can leave to something so amazing as a baby.

The 7 Deadly Sins Series

So my last painting is in the works...Lust. ;) Then I start on the 7 Heavenly Virtues!

The 7 Deadly Sins Series: Sloth

Sloth: After a week or two of painting my buns off and promoting art shows and looking for work I got a job and I was tired! Sloth was easy and this is what came of my laziness.

The 7 Deadly Sins Series: Wrath

After my bottle of whiskey, broken heart and a hang over later I made Wrath. Vengeance would be mine no matter what! My wrath would not come from a knife or a gun but my my weapon of my power of determination. I'd move on but the ripples my pond were made and my blood spilled from my fingers for i'd ripped my own heart out and tossed it in that damn pond.
