What I have been up to as of late.

 Most of the time I have been working my day job M to F or at the art studio on the weekends and evening. Due to Covid- 19, I like to wear colorful face masks for a pop of color.

I have really gotten into Pour Painting. I have been getting jiggy working my way up to larger sizes. 

I have had a few successes with the pours, but mostly just making a mess.

I have really enjoyed the slow time at the studio, it gives me time to explore new techniques.

Once all this Covid -19 stuff slows down we will be open to show the public whats up.
