Listening to Queen while painting produces something new

I was originally going to take my Brooklyn piece to the Pittsburgh Art All Night festival but decided to put in the Artomatic show instead. So far I have 6 pieces, in different stages of completion, I will use for the Artomatic show. I am very excited for this opportunity to show off my work. I'll be on the top floor with a huge white wall ready to display my recent work.
This is one of the bigger paintings in progress right now.....

I have a little less than 2 weeks to complete this one among serveral others. It's like being back in college during finals. I was always the procrastinator and pulled all nighters to finish my papers and presentations. haha I am all about this pressure right now. I am putting  my imagination into overdrive and just know that it will all get done. 

On this rainy Sunday evening, I am listening to Queen and working on the piece above. I looked over at the pile of leftover acrylic paint I peeled off my palette and got inspired! I could do something different with these leftovers and test out a new direction. Sure, why not? You don't know if it will work until you try it. So here is what I have so far. 
I think it can work into something more abstract and less figurative than what I am use to. I didn't want to throw them away since I was liking all the colors and how they meshed together. I am adding this last minute side project to my TO DO list. oh yay! 

Painting all day and not leaving the house makes me productive and at times go a little stir crazy. Despite all this rain, I'm going to step out to buy me some salad. I just opened my window and the breeze feels so nice. I hope it doesn't rain next weekend. Nah man! I wouldn't be about that yo!
