The feeling of guilt. So strong it can make a person sick. Sick enough the feeling succumbs the entire body, to the point that a complete shut down isn't far from reach. Guilt, it brings paranoia, destruction, hurt, second guessing. Where does this five letter get the nerve of carrying around so much weight with it?

So much with dirtiness, so much foul, such weight, this little word it has. Gah.

I've been on a roll as of late with the whole painting thing. It all started with a sale at Michaels, then next thing you know.... The emotional trail began. It's a crazy feeling being able to sit and just start painting. My world becomes something else, it doesn't have to make sense, it doesn't have to be explained, it's just there.

I just finished this one last night. I'm calling it "Guilty Discretion" I'm curious to know what you think when you look at it. Happy Friday! I'll post more paintings later

Happy early week to everyone! We have made it past Monday and that in itself is a great thing!

While I have been away from the blogging world I have been trying to become better at a few things. One of them being my art. I want to become a better sketcher, be quick and more elegant but defined. So I have been doodling. But while visiting one of my lovely sisters in the interesting city of Baltimore

I noticed a lot of graffiti art, and prints plastered around the city. I love it!! I want to do my own piece on an abandoned building somewhere...I just don't think I'm that good that yet.

Maybe one day...

Hearts & Nails

So I have been trying to keep up with keeping my nails looking all girly and such. I used to get them done all of the time with the fancy acrylic and cool colors but once I started the coroners office my nails always ripped through the gloves so I got rid of them.  This valentines day got me all excited about colors, but I did not want to go all classic red. so heres what I did.

I started with 4 black finger nails and 1 white. I love one nail being a different color than the other. once they dried ( I hate waiting).. I drew a messy heart on the white nail using a nail art pen i purchased at Rite Aid. Im still getting use to using them, they are kind of hard to use at first. I made sure not to draw the heart perfectly, its already cliche. The end result was pretty cute, kind of hallmarkish. But I like it.

of course I am impatient and messed up a lot of my black nails waiting for them to dry.. any effective methods to hurry this drying process??
