Old discoveries

I was rummaging through my portfolio and came upon two things. One was an old painting I did on BFK Rives paper back in 2009 and a black and white drawing I did on a large envelope. I was looking back at them and I can still remember why I made them. The memories were as fresh as I had vacuum sealed them in a tupperware container. Memory is an amazing thing. I hope never to lose mine.

 The painting above was done while sitting in a living room in Fairfax, VA with my former male roommates. I was the only girl living in a townhouse with three dudes. haha I'm a bro-chick so it worked out. I can still remember it was a weekend day and two of them were sitting on the couch watching television and the other one was walking around cleaning. I was sitting on the floor and with no plan I started to paint.  My subconscious thoughts surprised me that day.

I was sitting on my bed in my red bedroom spending quality sketching time. I cannot live without a sharpie. Too bad they fade in direct light after awhile or else I'd make all my art using just sharpies. Once again, with no plan I started from the top and worked my way around the envelope clockwise. It's a message from my brain to my heart. I constantly battle with the two and most of the time I go with my heart. Meh. My odds are 50/50. I'm a gambler at everything.
