This is the colored pencil drawing I did that gave me the idea to do the painting. If you know your art history try to figure out which artwork I grabbed this idea from. If you guess correctly I'll give you a gift.

Pastels from 2023

Here are some oil pastel explorations from last year. I was thinking of objects (coffee pots) and adding human real life emotions to them, however that would look - I was trying to play with that idea.

Cali Coffee but this is Florida, Bro!

I tried Cali Coffee for the first time and it was pretty good.

Is this good, do I like it?

I first heard of Cali Coffee when they opened in Hollywood. As stupid as this may be I didn’t like the name. This is Florida, I want nothing to do with California, yuck!

Fast forward to a month ago I was in Clermont and I saw them up there. Hmm, Clermont is an awesome place so maybe I should give it a try I thought.

And finally I saw them next to Culver's in Cooper City. I love Culvers, I love Clermont so maybe I'm being stupid.

I walked over and ordered an iced coffee with caramel. I took my first sip and hmm, I took a second sip... not bad. I took a third sip and yeah it's good.

I’m gonna keep having it but I still do not like the name haha!

Plane turing real hard and real fast way up there in the sky. 40,000 feet? Kodak Vision3 250D film.

I was looking up at the sky as I normally do. I walk outside for something. I first saw the moon and noted to myself how cool it is seeing the moon during the day. Then I noticed a jet way up there, going real fast and turning hard. Was it a fighter jet, not sure but it was fast!

A plane turning real hard way up there in the sky!
